# 11/4/26 Highway Commission

The Coffee County Highway Commission meeting on November 4, 2026, covered road maintenance and paving. The commission discussed state-aid hot-mix paving for approximately 4.1 miles, estimated at about $662,000—roughly $161,500 per mile. The county receives a little over $200,000 annually for state-aid paving and must build up funds before undertaking projects of this scale; officials estimated it could take about three years to replenish funds for another comparable project. Members also discussed tar-and-chip work on two miles costing about $98,000 and the use of coal mix and chip seal as lower-cost treatments for lower-traffic roads. Paving and maintenance work, including work on Calls Road and Smith Road, was reported as underway or recently completed.

The commission discussed staffing challenges, mowing, traffic and detours related to a state bridge replacement on Highway 127, and the effects of county growth on road traffic. No bids, contract awards, or procurement-related votes were identified; the votes recorded were approval of the agenda and prior meeting minutes. A road list is expected to be presented for approval at the next meeting, scheduled for December 2, 2026.
