  • Where can find information on road resurfacing projects?

    The County creates its resurfacing list each year based on a mix of citizen requests and the condition of the roads. If you notice a road that needs attention, you can submit a request through our Clay Connected app. 
     Once submitted, all roads are reviewed and prioritized for the resurfacing program.

     

    Each year, we propose resurfacing candidates to the Board of County Commissioners based on available funding. Since the budget is limited, it can take a few years for a road to make it into the program—but in the meantime, we’ll patch it as needed.
    To help evaluate each road fairly, we use six categories and score them on a scale from 0 to 100—the lower the score, the more serious the issue.
    • Oxidation/Raveling of the asphalt
    • Cracking of the asphalt
    • Cuts/Patches/Potholes
    • Depression/Rutting of the asphalt
    • Rideability
    • Traffic volume    

  • Who can I contact about getting speed bumps in my neighborhood?

    There is a process in place to install traffic calming measures on neighborhood roads. You can make a request to speak with staff about possible measures in your neighborhood by visiting our Clay Connected app.


  • Who do I contact about getting my dirt road paved?

    The County maintains 225 miles of dirt roads, but funding for paving is limited. 

    To prioritize projects, roads are ranked using the following criteria. 

    The categories are weighted, and roads with the highest scores are prioritized. To request a review or check a road’s status, visit the  Clay Connected app.
