City to pave additional 24 miles of road this spring

There is good news for many Hesperians wanting relief from bumpy, worn-out roads.

At a budget workshop prior to last week’s council meeting, the Hesperia City Council approved an additional $2 million in funding for road paving this fiscal year, which will end June 30.

We did approximately 20 miles of removal and repair and another 10 miles of overlay, which we’re still in the process of completing,” John Leveillee, Deputy City Engineer for the City of Hesperia, said last week.
