Coosa County approves weight-limit signs, truck purchase and Kellyton road bids
Summary
The commission approved adding 15‑ton weight-limit signage on three county roads, authorized bidding paving and striping projects in Kellyton, and approved buying three Silverado trucks for the highway department for $132,047.01.
Commissioner John Forbus moved to add 15‑ton weight‑limit signage on County Road 46, County Road 87 and County Road 50; Vice‑Chair Brandon Davis seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The signage motion was framed as a road‑preservation and safety step in areas affected by heavy truck traffic.
The commission also approved soliciting bids for a paving project on Church Street, Old School Road and Gin House Road in Kellyton and for a striping project on County Road 50. Separately, commissioners approved the highway department’s purchase of three 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trucks at a combined cost of $132,047.01 (motion by Commissioner John Forbus; seconded by Commissioner Bertha McElrath; unanimous approval).
