Adams County’s Highway Department reported steady progress on its summer road program Tuesday, noting that 79 miles of chip seal have been completed so far with another 32 miles still to go.
Officials said two roads currently being converted to new surfaces are scheduled to be chip‑sealed next week, part of the department’s effort to keep work moving during favorable weather.
Looking ahead to 2025, the department outlined its planned paving schedule. The work will include two stretches of County Road 000 — one between 218 and 124, and another running from Piqua Road north to 1000 North. Commissioners said the upcoming paving will continue the county’s multi‑year effort to improve heavily traveled corridors.
The chip‑seal program is one of the county’s largest seasonal maintenance tasks, and officials noted that completing the remaining miles will help preserve road surfaces and extend their lifespan. The planned 2025 paving projects are expected to provide longer‑term improvements on routes that have seen increased wear.
