Fosters Bend Road report clears path for spring rehab

Floyd County is moving closer to rehabilitating Fosters Bend Road after soil and pavement testing confirmed its previous concerns about the road’s structure. The geotechnical report showed the road has a high clay content, little rock base and varying depths of asphalt that make a single rehabilitation approach difficult.
