"The General Fund Surplus Program complements other investments being made in our paving program and has allowed us to continue addressing decades of deferred maintenance," said District 2 Engineer Rob Pennington, P.E. "This program will reduce future maintenance costs and allow these savings to be cycled through other roads in the future, thus improving the overall condition of the road network."
