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.
