    What happened last summer. Work stopped and then started like months later. So there I found your 3 days above 65. I hope for future contracts the county looks for a better contractor. That actually takes into consideration the families that live,work and have to travel these roads being repaired or replaced.

    All the comments I see from all the road paveing experts I don’t see any comments about air temptures asphalt going on north 29 has to be paved when air temp Is 65 and riseing
    and usally has to be this way for at least 3 days in a row to get quality performance out of the asphalt and if any one disagrees with that the rules that say this are D.O.T specs. That the contract has to go by

    If there is a contract in place. What was the original time frame agreed upon for completion of this project and what type of penalties are in place?

    The next question is why do we keep giving them more work when it seems multiple projects are not completed ?

    Final question how much was this projects original cost and what has been paid and how much more is this project going to cost ?

    In my personal belief there is no reason that Highway 29 is not completed. There has been plenty of days the work should have been done. If they are claiming weather delays it is a baseless excuse. The problem is what it appears to be having too many projects going at once and no enforcement of penalties for none completion of the project.

    hopefully they’re fixing the standing water issue at Neal Rd on the inside SB lane!

    The only reason roads Inc are saying that they are fixing to start work again is because they are getting so many complaints this is the only reason I know 1st hand information

    Hey! They don’t work on 29 south of 9 mile for WEEKS at a time…yet, they will get bonuses for cost over runs and weather later this year. You watch…commissioners are already paid for.

    WHY???

    Why do they have to work on Hwy 29 during the day?
    Hwy 29 is becoming too congested to work on it during the day hours. Especially, during the morning and afternoon commute to work. That’s going to be a mess.
    Why can’t they work on it 7pm – 7am?
    That’s what they did before they left the project sit for almost a year.
