Superintendent –
Bill Dunlap
Elected to office in August 1994 he is responsible for maintaining approximately 1,282 miles of roads and 160 plus bridges in Blount County. Approximately 55 miles of re-paving is scheduled each year. State aid for the replacement or repair of 62 of these bridges is available, with the state incurring 80% of the cost and Blount County 20% of the cost. At present 28 have been replaced, 1 has been totally eliminated, and 4 are under design and development.
The Highway Department’s operating budget is
approximately $5.2 million annually and is funded through sales tax, gasoline
tax, mineral severance tax, and state aid programs. The department maintains its own fleet of
vehicles and equipment. It also mixes
and blends some maintenance materials and makes sure each is environmentally
friendly.
