Last week, it didn't look like there was any new paving at all. It looked like grading but it was paving prep. There are long sections now that are paved, about 3 long sections of potholes but nothing major. It appears the paving in sections is what the county recognizes as county roadway. There is solid paving into and out of those sections and road is a quarter as rough as it was just a few weeks ago.
