County roads targeted for improvements

In case you missed this article that ran recently in The Press printed edition:

Sixteen short streets or roads in communities across Crittenden County will be getting a fresh coat of pavement at some point this year.

The county has received $102,949 in discretionary funds from the Kentucky Department of Highways to resurface local roads. Crittenden County Judge-Executive Perry Newcom said he and Road Foreman Audie Maraman surveyed the county’s roads and streets and created the priority list, which was adopted by the fiscal court recently.

“These are short roads that never get much attention,” Newcom said. “They probably don’t get anything done to them but once every 20 years.”

Newcom said the roads are largely in some of the most densely populated areas of the county such as Dycusburg, Crayne and Tolu.

Rogers Group will be doing the paving, Newcom said.

Here are the roads that will be getting new pavement as part of the program:
•Church Road near Crayne for 0.186 miles from U.S. 641 to Crayne Cemetery Road.
•Stallions Drive near Crayne for 0.056 miles U.S. 641 to Church Road.
