We got a letter from the state letting us know that beginning on August 19 our section of road will be CLOSED to through traffic. I'm so happy I could scream! or dance! or something.
The road will be closed for approximately SIX WEEKS.
In late May we had an incredible storm, quick downpour resulting in the creek rising enough to overflow the banks and the roadway. It was spectacular.
Unfortunately, this caused some serious damage that needs to be repaired. It won't heal itself. The letter states that they are going to close the road, remove the road bed over the culverts, uninstall the existing drainage, divert the creek temporarily, install bigger culverts and restore the creek to its original position. The berm also will be sculpted for easier maintenance, mowing, and repave the new bridge.
And for SIX WEEKS we won't have traffic doing 90 past our house! Peace and Quiet - WAHOO!
