As I have already called in and complained, my front ditch where new drain put in, was cut so steep that all dirt is washing away, and mail boxes have a washout going into ditch. I have to watch walking to mail box to keep from falling, but yet they are near completion. HaHa!!! This is past Exner’ s toward Ernie Road.
It appears that one section failed after being done. So most likely they’re having to do a small redesign.
yea I would like to know that too. they just stopped right pass Barrineau Park School Rd. and the bridge. They left a narrow part of the road undone. Are they going to finish it or not?
Can anyone tell me why they stopped working on Barrineau Park Road from Barrineau Park School Road to Jacks Branch Road intersection? Parts of the expansion have eroded already and it needs to be redone.
