County engineers report progress on roadwork; Wendling begins rock-hauling contract
Summary
Jackson County Engineering reported that Wendling began a recently approved rock-hauling contract and that Z-15 bridge work and other road projects are advancing, though rain and river conditions slow earthwork; Sheckwell said one job is estimated at 80 working days (weather-dependent).
At the April 14 meeting, Jackson County Engineering told supervisors that the previously approved contract for rock hauling has begun and that staff are coordinating operations in the field. Jaden Sheckwell said Wendling began hauling the day after award and that office staff and blade operators are working together to spread material; he noted positive public feedback on recent brush cutting and mulching.
Sheckwell also updated the board on the Z-15 bridge work—deck removal and structure work are in progress—and explained scheduling challenges caused by rising river levels and repeated rain. On project timing he said one project is estimated at "80 working days," explaining that working days exclude rain days and therefore the calendar duration depends heavily on weather. Sheckwell told supervisors the larger paving and guard-work scope adds time compared with similar bridge replacements on gravel roads.
