Century Ready To Resurface Five Streets
February 10, 2011
The bottom line estimate is in for resurfacing five of Century’s worst streets.
The town will resurface Freedom Road, the portion of Old Flomaton Road in the city limits, Hecker Road, Elm Street and Hilltop Road. The streets were the top five on the town’s priority list.
The resurfacing part of the project will cost the town just over $181,000 by piggybacking on an Escambia County contract with Roads, Inc. Of Northwest Florida. With the addition of pavement striping on Freedom, Old Flomaton and Hecker, the total cost will be an estimated $195,000. Striping — those lines down the middle and on the side of the roadway — will not be added Elm or Hilltop because they are low-traffic.
There will be about a dozen roads remaining to be paved on the town’s priority list. Five of them — West Cottage Street, Academy Street, Pleasant Hill Road, Ramar Street and Lake Street — are all short or dead end streets. The remaining are dirt roads that will require extensive drainage work prior to surfacing.
The start date for the resurfacing project is still to be determined.

Don’t worry to much oversight. It could have been worse and Panhandle Paving and Grading got the work.
trust but verify
Hmmm, Roads, Inc…. I some how doubt Century will get what it pays for. Does the town have a quality assurance inspector for pavement projects? If not, it better get someone quick!
