FAYETTEVILLE -- After a year of playing catch up on needed paving maintenance work, Washington County plans to spend more time in 2025 improving some of the more heavily traveled county roads.
"What we're looking for is to try to get life back into our pavement," County Judge Patrick Deakins said Monday. "We're trying to develop a Washington County standard that we want all of our roads to meet."
Deakins said a stretch of Rheas Mills Road west of its junction with Little Elm Road was recently improved and that will be the "standard" for county roads to meet going forward. Deakins said the roadway was "fog sealed" and reflective striping applied to the sides of the road and reflectors installed on the center line.
