Pavement repair underway in Murray

A Georgia Department of Transportation crew is repairing the deteriorating edges of pavement on State Route 225 in Murray County. The work will continue through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day, weather permitting.

The department says edge repair is intended to guard against pavement failure along the edges due to the action of traffic and the loss of edge support that occurs due to the presence of water, aggressive-growth vegetation and wind from either traffic or the atmosphere. The work is designed to minimize the effects of shoulder drop-offs and maximize the safety of the road.
