Travellers on Clear Springs RD urged to use extra caution Friday

New Bridge is number 18 in the administration of Adair County Executive Judge Ann Melton

Second District Magistrate Daryl Flatt and Adair County Road Superintendent Jobe Darnell are asking travellers on Clear Springs Road to use extra precautions in the morning, Friday, September 27, 2013, especially around the construction site of the new bridge over Powder Creek, at a point beside the residence of the Benjy Kimbler family.

A temporary bypass is in place. Mr. Darnell said that his crews will begin removing the old bridge tomorrow. Clear Springs Road is a very smoothly paved but extremely narrow road, barely wide enough for two cars to pass when they meet each other. "And you'd be surprised at the speeds some go on the road," Jobe Darnell said.

It still an engrossing spectator activity to watch them at work, but it seems to be all in a days work for Adair County's "Construction Battalion," under the command of Adair County Road Superintendent Jobe Darnell, second from far left. They're building a temporary bypass to be used by residents while a new 24' wide, 30 feet long bridge to replace the one in the low spot, above. Today, they will take out the old bridge. The man orchestrating the dump truck activity is Terry Williams. When the bridge is complete, the bypass is scheduled to be taken out. Keeping on the military theme, does anyone remember the pontoon bridges the Army Corps of Engineers would install when an bridge fell. I believe there was a temporary one put in after the great collapse of the Columbia-Russell Heights Bridge on Campbellsville Street which supplanted the temporary ferrying operation Ralph Shearer estabished. - EW
