PAULDING ROAD PROJECTS ON SCHEDULE

Just like most other coun­ties and munic­i­pal­i­ties in the area, Pauld­ing County road crews are just wait­ing for the weather to break so they can put away snow plows and get out the con­struc­tion equip­ment.

Bridge projects will be a big pri­or­ity this year.

They include the County Road 87 bridge over Flat Rock Creek, and the County Road 79 bridge over Blue Creek.

Another big project the county will begin this year is the widen­ing of County Road 144. The adja­cent ditch must be moved before widen­ing can begin, and that project alone could take up to two years before actual road work begins.

Pauld­ing County also is plan­ning about 15 miles of paving work, with County Road 48 in Ben­ton Town­ship and County Road 205 in Brown Town­ship on the top of the list.
