| BACKGROUND: |
| This project consists of paving, drainage, and stormwater improvements to Crary Road, which is an existing dirt road, located in the north end of the County connecting US Highway 4 with US Highway 29. Paving Crary Road will consist of slight modifications to the existing alignment. The paving limits will extend from US Highway 29 to Byrneville Road. Drainage and stormwater improvements will include concrete paved swales and installation of a new water main. Due to the natural topography of the property to the west of Crary Road, the easement is necessary to help stabilize and reinforce the area to help alleviate potential damages to the new roadway and drainage infrastructure. Other work associated with the dirt road paving will include maintenance of traffic, stormwater pollution prevention, sodding, shoulder work, and pavement striping. It should be noted that this parcel does have several mortgages, a federal tax lien, an Oil Gas and Mineral Lease, and a number of easements. The easement needed by the County may be affected if these were ever foreclosed upon. |
