He said that they are at the <br /> end of the priority list for unpaved roads in Orange County and some have no houses on them. <br /> The highway fund has $601,793 and the trust fund has $452,040 for a total of$1,053,833. <br /> There are two unpaved roads that are being proposed to be paved — Charlie's Dead End road <br /> and Buckhorn Road. The paved road improvements will be on Whitfield Road from NC 86 to <br /> SR 1734 (Erwin Road). The shoulders will be paved and the entire road will be resurfaced. <br /> The balance of the funds will be directed towards surveying and right-of-way acquisition costs, <br /> road indentions, other contingencies, and paving entrances to certified fire departments and <br /> rescue squads. <br /> Mike Mills said that DOT is now starting to turn its attention to safety improvements on <br /> old paved roads and they are aggressively pursuing these roads.
