Summary
Minutes from the April 9 Dodge County Road Committee meeting record that Orphan Cemetery Road has waited almost six months since a bid was awarded and that Dyal Still Road is on the 2024 LRA list, preventing county work; County Manager Conner Bearden emailed the contractor contact at Scruggs and staff requested GTIB photos for three roads.
At its April 9, 2025, session, the Dodge County Road Committee recorded multiple project updates, including a delayed contract on Orphan Cemetery Road and a restriction on work at Dyal Still Road due to an LRA listing.
The minutes state Dyal Still Road was included on the 2024 Local Resurfacing Assistance (LRA) list for aggregate surface treatment and that the county cannot perform work on that roadway until the LRA project is complete. The record does not provide the LRA project schedule or completion date.
The committee also noted that Orphan Cemetery Road has been waiting almost six months since a bid was awarded and that no action had yet been taken to start work. County Manager Conner Bearden has emailed the county's contact at Scruggs to press for action; the minutes do not record the contractor's response or a new start date.
Separately, staff recorded a Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank (GTIB) update and said they requested photos of Bill Mullis Road, Eastman-Milan Road, and Zion Hill to support GTIB review or application materials. The minutes do not specify what the photos must show or any submission deadlines.
The committee did not record formal votes on these items during the meeting. Follow-up items recorded in the minutes include staff outreach to the contractor and continued coordination on LRA scheduling and GTIB documentation. The meeting adjourned at 10:42 a.m.
