Repairs to three bridges and resurfacing portions of two roadways in poor condition will top the list of infrastructure work to start 2008 in Warren County.

Bids will be taken in the coming weeks to address buckling, one-mile stretches of roadway on Eagle Lake Shore Road and Tucker Road, two projects for which about $224,000 in Mississippi Department of Transportation funds have been allocated. During Monday’s board meeting, Warren County supervisors OK’d advertising the projects.

Support pilings will be replaced at bridges at Spouts Spring Road in Kings and Cairo Drive off U.S. 61 South. A bridge at Fisher Ferry Road near the Big Black River will also have its pilings repaired.

Less than a third of the work to Tucker Road and Eagle Lake Shore Road will be funded relative to the cost of paving the 6.7 miles of roadway addressed in this year’s county road plan. Both were among the top 10 roads most in need of resurfacing on county road plan lists released in February.

Total costs of resurfacing both roads have been estimated at more than $950,000. Six of the 10 roads in the poorest conditions are to be funded by the MDOT Office of State Aid Road Construction.

In other business Monday, supervisors recognized nine county employees with at least 15 years of continued service.

They were Rebecca Thornton, 25 years in the Chancery Clerk’s Office and the Tax Assessor’s Office; state Rep. George Flaggs, D-Vicksburg, 20 years as counselor in Warren County Youth Court; Rosemary Gordon, 20 years in the Tax Collector’s Office; Jeff Crevitt, Ruby Hunter and Jeanne Baxley, 20 years in the Warren County Sheriff’s Department; Larry Flowers, 20 years in the Warren County Road Department; Marie Agent, 15 years in the Tax Collector’s Office and Jason Reditt, 15 years in the Warren County Sheriff’s Department.
