Others working on the project, but not in the photo, were Terry Williams, John Denton, and David Harden. The project is expected to be complete by the end of this week.The retaining wall is 72 feet long and six feet tall, requiring a total of 24 baskets of Zero sized crushed stones to fill. The department is highly experienced in the construction, first used at the approaches of the Gradyville Country Club Road bridge, and later at other sites including Crocus Creek, in District 3 in South Adair County, and on Crooked Creek, in District 6 is North Adair County above Knifley. Flooding and water damage are the major problems with maintenance of Adair Countys 600-plus mile county road system. The photo was taken Monday, March 26, 2012. Permalink | Comments?
