County engineer outlines paving, debris‑removal and Kettle Creek safety widening plans
Summary
Clay Phillips, the county engineer, told the commission the paving crew finished Camp Winnetowska, moved work to Show Creek and will begin Kettle Creek safety widening (two‑foot paved shoulders with rolling strips) with construction activities planned into September; he also updated on Wool Creek debris access work.
Clay Phillips, introduced by the chair as the county engineer, gave the work session’s lead technical update, saying the county’s paving crew had finished Camp Winnetowska and moved to Show Creek and Journey’s Inn before proceeding into the Old Coast City/Watzville area.
“We’ve moved to the Show Creek area, specifically Journey’s Inn… and then we’ll be over there for a day or two, and then we’re moving to the Old Coast City, Watzville area,” Phillips said. He added that a separate base crew has been building an access pass for the Wool Creek debris‑removal contractor when weather allows.
Phillips described a safety widening project on Kettle Creek Road currently in planning, noting it will add two‑foot paved shoulders with rolling strips designed “to keep people from exiting lane departures on the outside.” He said non‑contract items remain to ready the site and estimated the project would be left (substantially complete) by Sept. 30.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the project extent and materials; Phillips confirmed the shoulders will be paved and will include rumble/rolling strips. The chair said the item will be on the Tuesday agenda for formal action as needed.
The engineer also reported driveway‑pipe work on Keller Creek Road and that crews will be moving into District 1 in short order. Commissioners thanked Phillips and moved to the next agenda item.
