SOLUTION
TO FIXING OUR ROADS?
1997
To stay within our slashed budget, our Road
Commission has had to reduce staff and cut
costs, leaving our roadways at greater risk.
ONE NEW TIRE: $75
BENT RIM FIX: $100
NEW SHOCKS: $250
AXLE REPLACEMENT: $550
Estimated repair costs
WHAT IS THE
State commitment has not
kept up with since
our local
roads repair
Driving on bad roads damages our cars
and can even cause accidents. These
repairs can be expensive and that cost
comes directly out of your pocket.
Picture
203 miles need to be crushed, reshaped,
and have a new asphalt driving surface
placed. Estimated cost is $61,131,000.
281 miles need to be overlaid with new
asphalt and or chip sealed. Estimated cost
is $50,000/ mile or a total of $14,050,000.
288 miles need to be crackpoured and/or
durapatched to extend their life.
Estimated cost is $1,731,000.
Repairing our roads is costly, but if
everybody pitches in to help, it’s not
much at all.
