Phase 1

The $39.5 million Smith County Road Bond passed with 73 percent of the vote on November 7, 2017. 

The issuance of bonds are for road and bridge construction and major improvements. On June 22, 2021, the Smith County Commissioners Court voted to approve the sale of the fourth tranche of voter-approved road bonds at a lower-than-expected interest rate after receiving five competitive bids.

The process of developing a Road and Bridge Capital Improvement Plan began in 2015, when Smith County hired Atkins Engineering to analyze the condition of each road in the county.

When Phase 1 of the Road Bond projects are complete at the end of Fiscal Year 2022, more than 250 miles of roads will have been reconstructed and/or repaved. If approved, Phase 2 will improve another estimated 283 miles of roads.
