Hello. Could you please help me choose? I think both answers are ok, right?
- By the end of next year, the road to my town (will be paved - will have been paved).
Thank you.

Nice to see you here again. 
I agree with you that both answers are grammatically correct and possible to use.

I agree and would like to add that, while "will be paved" can be understood as a copula with an adjective (will be in a paved condition), "will have been paved" can only be understood as the passive form of the future perfect indicating a future action to be completed before a future date (the end of next year).
