With the weather warming, road paving will get underway Friday when the state begins resurfacing Ga. Highway 81 North from U.S. Highway 278 through Oxford to the Walton County line. The 7.27-mile resurfacing of the much-used two lane highway is one of several local roads that the state will pave this year. Conyers-based Pittman Construction will handle all of the projects after winning the state's bid.
