Who else is glad that the Coosa County Highway department has finally decided to repave / resurface Coosa County Road 2 starting at the Y where real island road and 2 meet! I'm not sure how far past Parker Creek Marina road they are going but I will say it's a MUCH NEEDED repair. As of Monday morning, they had fixed most of the potholes in the road and seemed to have widened it a bit and were just starting to lay down the rock/tar mixture... Here's to hoping that's step 1 and step 2 would be to put down some asphalt.

I think we have to be happy with what we got. Asphalt is not in the plans. It is great to have the road widened and smooth however

I live off Coosa 20. I'm afraid what you are probably seeing is the annual filling of the pot holes with tar/gravel mixture, not prep for repaving. I can't imagine what it would take to get repaving on the roads around the lake. We've had a of new construction over the winter and the roads are in terrible shape from all those heavy trucks. If you go to the county, they just say there is no money for it.

No we actually had 2 miles of Coosa 2 dug up, mixed with a new concrete base, smoothed, packed, widened, and covered with new tar and rocks. They just finished and it rides pretty smooth

I am very happy they tore up the very bad section of old asphalt. It is 100X better than it use to be but from what I am hearing they are not going to fully pave with asphalt. I do think they will be repairing potholes every year without the asphalt paving. Plus, all of the gravel is tearing up boats being towed in on a trailer. If we could get a group of lake homeowners in Coosa county (and probably Elmore as the road extends into Elmore) to cover the cost to fully repave I think it would really help everyone. I would be in to pay a couple thousand. I'm not sure how that would work because the County usually pays for these projects out of gas taxes and we all know there are not many gas stations in Coosa.
