Overview: At the recent Bradford County Council meeting, attention was dedicated to the state of road infrastructure, particularly the gas tax project aimed at improving the county’s roads. The discussion centered on the need for a cost-effective strategy for road paving and maintenance, with council members debating the use of chip seal versus asphalt for smaller roads and the allocation of gas tax funds for the maintenance of heavily traveled collector roads.
