Asphalt Paving in Cordele, GA

Asphalt paving in Cordele serves the seat of Crisp County, halfway between Macon and Valdosta on I-75. Cordele was founded and incorporated on January 1, 1888, named for Cordelia Hawkins, daughter of a railroad president, and became county seat when Crisp County was formed in 1905. It had 10,220 residents and 4,780 housing units in 2020, and it calls itself the Watermelon Capital of the World.

Interstate and freight traffic

I-75, US 41, US 280 and several state routes meet here, CSX and Norfolk Southern lines pass through, and the Cordele Inland Port offers rail service to the Georgia Ports Authority in Savannah. That means trucks. Lots and drives that carry freight need a heavier base and asphalt section, and entrances wear first. We build and repair for those loads.

Lake Blackshear

Lake Blackshear, formed by the Flint River hydroelectric dam, draws lake homes and weekend properties west of town. Lake-area driveways are often sloped toward the water; we set slopes and edges so runoff does not erode the pavement or the bank.

Older neighborhoods

Many in-town homes are older, and about 13 percent of housing units were vacant in 2020. Repair, overlay or replacement depends on the base, and we check.

Weather history

A tornado on April 2, 1936, killed 23 people in Cordele. Today, summer storms are the bigger day-to-day factor, so drainage is planned into every job.

Watermelon Festival and the speedway

The annual Watermelon Festival and races at Cordele Motor Speedway, a 3/8-mile asphalt oval, bring crowds. Business and church lots benefit from patching, sealing and striping ahead of busy weekends.

Permits

City streets go through Cordele, county roads through Crisp County, and US and state routes through GDOT.
