The resurfacing of Hampton Locust Grove Road has been completed between Hwy. 20 and Hwy. 155. When announcing the conclusion of the project Aug. 30, Henry County officials called it a “cornerstone” of a larger plan under which 96 road resurfacings are expected to be done this year under the county’s special-purpose local option sales tax.
Out of a total of $27.4 million earmarked for these improvements across the county, this five-mile stretch was the priciest at $1.8 million.
Officials said heavy traffic over the years, including a large number of school buses, had made road conditions unsatisfactory and necessitated the replacement of both the roadway foundation and the final surface.
