Good news for stripes on Washington County roads: We received a shipment of road striping paint, so county crews will be striping roads over the weekend and for as long as the paint and the weather last. And the contract with our night striping contractor has been expanded to include 160 additional miles of road striping, so they will continue working beyond the original August 27 end date. They also plan to stripe roads over the weekend. Major roads that carry the most traffic will be painted first. Motorists are reminded to not drive over the wet stripes.
