CONTRACT RESURFACING
The Governor's Good Roads Program was established by the General Assembly under the 1981 Appropriations Act, Senate Bill 29, to fund 7.XX contract resurfacing work orders. Funds appropriated for fiscal year 1981-82 totaled $79,931,037. Funds appropriated for 2000-2001 totaled $137,481,982. Approximately 2,000 miles per year are resurfaced from this fund. Allocations are distributed by formula utilizing pavement maintenance needs, lane miles and population as factors in the formula. In accordance with current legislation, up to 15% of the funds may be used for widening narrow roads that are scheduled for resurfacing.
