Last week, we had a crew out at the Knox County Detention Facility paving the road around the newly-built virtual courtroom.
We had a crew in District 7 correcting a sight distance issue. The crew cut a bank back to help with visibility getting out of a driveway.
Paving on Kimberlin Heights Road should finish up next week weather permitting. This is a 9-mile stretch of road one way and is using 14,500 tons of asphalt.
Some quick work stats:
- 75 road repairs
- 16 debris removals
- 10 pipe/culvert cleanings
- 8 ditch cleanings
- 1 tree removal
