Two Henry County road contracts approved

The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted at its Sept. 8 regular meeting to approve a $260,952 bid for construction of a median opening on the Jodeco-Campground Road extension, which is a SPLOST-funded project. There was only one bid received for the work, from Backbone Infrastructure.

Another SPLOST road improvement project approved by the board was a $215,680 change order to Croy Engineering for design work on the widening of Rock Quarry Road. This includes the relocation of proposed permanent sediment basins at the request of the Henry County Water Authority, additional geotechnical work required by the Georgia Department of Transportation, and a temporary signal at the Red Oak Road intersection.
