Warren County roads are getting a nearly $8 million paving run.
At their November 2 meeting, supervisors signed off on the $7,881,597.44 low bid from Joe McGee Construction, the contractor County Engineer Keith O'Keefe recommended. Crews will redo stretches that have worn out and put pavement down on gravel roads, at spots spread all over the county.
The money comes from a low-interest bond the county will pay back with state use tax income earmarked for roads and infrastructure, and Board President Dr. Kelle Barfield says that means no added tax burden for residents.

Work is slated to begin in early December and run into spring, and the county engineer will announce the road list beforehand so drivers can plan around it.
