The Roads Division, under Supervisor Wayne Allen, is responsible for maintenance of 1031 roads with a total length of 733 miles. Because most of the county-maintained roads are two lanes, the Roads Division is actually responsible for maintaining 1,466 lane miles of roads. Thanks to the progressive Floyd County paving/resurfacing program, only about six miles of our maintained roads are unpaved. During the past 17 years, we have resurfaced or paved an average of more than 43 miles of county roads annually. That figure does not include hundreds of smaller-scale, road-repair projects we do each year in response to requests made by citizens through our work order system.
Road Division personnel make up the grading crews and the asphalt finishing crew, which along with inmate labor from Floyd County Prison work to improve and maintain our roads at a quality level that rivals any comparable county in Georgia.
Grading Crews
Roadways are initially prepared for resurfacing by grading crews under the supervision of Project Supervisor DeWayne Weeks. These crews also have the responsibility for constructing parking lots at many government facilities, shoulder construction and maintenance, road patching operations and site preparation for many special projects throughout the county.
Asphalt Finishing Crew
The asphalt finishing crew applies the asphalt layers to roads giving them a smooth riding surface. This operation is also under the direct supervision of Project Supervisor DeWayne Weeks.
Resurfacing Schedule
Floyd County Public Works paved 23 roads (25 miles) within Floyd County in 2008. During the last 17 years (1992 – 2008), we have paved 737 miles or roughly 43 miles per year.
Our projected paving schedule for 2009 is pending and will be listed as soon as possible. We usually begin paving the first week of May. If you have any questions, please contact Floyd County Public Works at 706-236-2495.
