Although County Road 301 will remain topped with gravel for the time being, it can be graded and temporarily improved, unlike County Road 501.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve got to maintain what you have,\u201d Davis said. \u201cIf we let this go another year or two or a little bit longer and we get some more severe weather like this, we could end up turning that paved road into a gravel road. The pavement can totally disintegrate.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are several ways the department could to go about repaving the road, including tearing up all the existing concrete or just removing the top layer. Either way, Davis said, the road will receive a new travel surface.<\/p>\n
He said the project on County Road 301 would be considered for the 2024 budget cycle, although it remains uncertain when it might receive funding.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe damage on 501 is pretty nasty \u2013 that required full repair,\u201d said county spokesman Ted Holteen.<\/p>\n
The BoCC must formally approve the reappropriation before the money can be redirected. Holteen said the board is likely to approve the request at its next business meeting, scheduled for March 28.<\/p>\n
