Smith County commissioners detail materials and scope for P Rd reconstruction
Summary
At a March 24 special session, Smith County commissioners described a phased reconstruction of P Rd between 50 Rd and 120 Rd, specifying per-mile material plans and noting project sequencing. Commissioners and road staff outlined quantities, staging and potential supply sources.
On March 24, 2025, the Smith County Commissioners met in a special session to discuss reconstruction of P Rd between 120 Rd and 50 Rd. Commissioner Jim Gwennap said the project will start at 50 Rd and work south, and that the county has planned material mixes for each mile.
Gwennap described the material plan in detail: "each mile will have 2200 yards of rock and 1000 yards of asphalt millings," he said, adding that "once the asphalt millings are all utilized, solely rock will be used at the rate of 3200 yards per mile." Commissioner Kurt Ifland also noted engineering considerations for the chosen base treatment and stressed the importance of keeping water off the roadway when using the BaseOne product.
The commissioners did not record a separate approval vote on these specifications in the minutes for this special session; the meeting was convened to discuss the reconstruction plan and logistics. The description given at the meeting provides the county's stated approach to material use and sequencing, but the minutes do not list project cost estimates or a contractor award.
