Resurfacing work is slated to begin on the paved portion of Prestwood Bridge Road as early as Tuesday, and a portion of the dirt road will be paved in coming months.

The City of Andalusia plans to resurface the paved portion of the road inside the city limits. The city is taking advantage of its ability to buy materials off the state bid contract the county has. Andalusia is using the contractor already doing resurfacing work for the state in this area.

Mayor Earl Johnson said the city will fund the $225,000 needed to resurface the road with $135,000 it didn’t spend in last year’s budget, and $90,000 in its gasoline tax fund.

“Hopefully, we’ll get this resurfacing done in the next two or three weeks,” he said. “Prestwood Bridge Road is in bad need of that.”

Commission Chairman Greg White said the county plans to resurface the paved portion of Prestwood Bridge Road outside of the city limits, and also will pave a portion of the dirt road. He said he is not sure when the county will do the project, or how much of the dirt road it can pave.
