Road Improvement Plans for Shelton Town and New Union Announced

Coffee County's Highway Commission is taking proactive steps to address road maintenance and safety concerns following recent community feedback. During the meeting on July 2, 2025, officials discussed plans to improve several local roads, including Shelton Town Road, which has received multiple complaints regarding its rough condition.

Commission members agreed to deploy maintenance crews to Shelton Town Road to apply temporary fixes, such as placing strips on the rough patches. This effort aims to extend the road's usability for another year while more comprehensive repairs are planned. The commission also discussed upcoming paving projects, with a focus on Mack Mill Highway and the surrounding areas, including a subdivision that has not seen significant maintenance in over three decades.

In addition to road repairs, the commission addressed concerns about a tree on Noah Road that poses a potential hazard. Officials noted that while the tree is not down, it requires clearing to ensure safety for motorists. The commission is committed to assessing and addressing these issues promptly.

These discussions highlight the Highway Commission's dedication to maintaining safe and accessible roads for Coffee County residents. As the commission moves forward with these projects, community members can expect improvements that enhance travel safety and road conditions in the area.
