We have now completed our ditch work for 2011. We still have more to do in the eastern third of the precinct, but the excavator was a rental and we sent it back May 26th so we could get started on some chores and a complete patching of the precinct. We completed CR's 1450 and 1452, parts of CR 1635, and parts of CR 1660. We installed culverts for Mr Taylor on CR 1780, Mr. Martin on CR 1345, for the county on CR 1680 and also for the county on CR 1317. We have also trimmed the early grass around the bridges, culverts and intersections and will come back in three weeks to spray the regrowth. That method has worked well for us for the last two years.
We have plans to patch CR 1400 before we begin our complete overlay. This is the road that was given to the county by Luminant and has been a problem ever since. We are partnering with Luminant to bring that road into county specs. We also plan to do extensive scabbing on CR 1475 and on CR 1362.
