St. Clair County engineer reports Wolf Creek debris work, Kerr Road restart and bridge planning
Summary
County engineer Clay Phillips said crews are working in Wateree/Tassey and beginning Wolf Creek debris removal; Kerr Road contractor has restarted and Atlas (formerly Long Engineering) will update hydrology/hydraulics plans for a bridge replacement project.
Clay Phillips, who is filling in as county engineer, updated the commission on ongoing road and bridge work and coordination with state agencies.
Phillips reported paving crews had been working in the Wateree and Tassey areas and would move into the Show Creek area. He said crews had completed a pad at the arena and were building an access path for the Wolf Creek debris‑removal project; the contractor supplied bonds and mobilized to the west side of the creek north of Roberts Mill Pond.
On bridges, Phillips said he contacted the firm that prepared the original hydrology and hydraulics study and asked Atlas (formerly Long Engineering) to update proposals and develop plans for the bridge replacement. He also said he met with ALDOT personnel about whether federal funds could be used to upgrade a detour at Riverside Bridge and that staff are awaiting ALDOT’s guidance.
Phillips flagged a final invoice from the Ragland Water Authority for water‑line relocation tied to a Macedonia Road bridge replacement and said staff hope to pursue the bridge project in the next fiscal year.
