This year, more than 103,000 tons of asphalt were used to overlay 52 miles of roads in unincorporated King County and the local cities that contract with the Roads Division. Even through the cost of asphalt increased about 17 percent over last year, the division was able to meet its paving goals by adjusting the thickness of the overlay on the less-traveled roadways. In conjunction with the paving, the division also built 143 ramps at intersections in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Adopt-a-Road “Makes a Difference” for a whole month
During the month of October, 375 volunteers in 38 groups performed organized litter clean-ups. The volunteers did an outstanding job — collecting more than 750 bags of litter and keeping 77.5 miles of King County roads clean. Over the past six years, Adopt-a-Road volunteers have removed more than 17,000 bags of litter from county roads. And, since 1991, volunteers have totaled close to 70,000 hours of clean-up service.
