County road line painting scheduled

Paint striping season arrives on county roads after Labor Day. The annual work will cover 25 to 30 roads from start to finish, laying down new stripes with a paint truck and warning vehicle following. Roads will remain open during the process.

Costs associated include an estimated $100,000 in paint and $2,000 in glass beads, which cure in the paint and reflect light once on the pavement.

“We try to make the roads as safe as we can by making them as visible as we can,” said Mark Storey, county public works director.
