Pavement Management Program
The 2026 Pavement Management program involves resurfacing or reconstruction
of approximately 15 centerline miles of County highways using both contractors

expertise.
Work necessary to prepare the highways for resurfacing or
reconstruction, such as culvert pipe replacement, ditch and drainage system
repairs and localized surface repairs are included within the scope of this
