Bridge work at Old Railroad Grade near 40% complete; FEMA assessments underway after storms
Summary
Contractor reported the Old Railroad Grade bridge is roughly 40% finished with box beams to be set next week; EMA Director Wanda Shelton reported 15 damage assessments with nine locations affected and the county awaiting a presidential declaration for federal aid.
Contractor representative Cammle Ford told the court the Old Railroad Grade Road bridge project is nearing 40% completion; backfilling was scheduled for the following day, box beams were to be set next Tuesday, and bridge rails are expected in six to eight weeks.
EMA Director Wanda Shelton reviewed storm-damage assessments entered into Survey123 and listed affected roads (examples: Jack Black Rd – 11 entries; Long Branch – 5 entries). She said the team performed 15 individual inspections that day: nine sites were affected, five were minor, and one was major; the county must await a presidential emergency declaration before federal assistance can proceed. Separately, the court approved a Crawford Asphalt estimate of $9,984.00 to repair a washed-out section of Boones Creek Road on a motion by Magistrate Chris Davis.
The combined updates reflected active recovery work and timelines for both infrastructure projects and potential external assistance.
