Hey folks,

NCDOT is replacing the Avery 1 bridge on Ruffin St., adjacent to HWY 221 over the Linville River. I received the attached
photos and video from our staff today, showing some upstream sediment issues. The email below has some information
as well. Earlier this year there were issues with sedimentation in the Linville River, prior to NCDOT working on the
bridge, but no clue if it’s the same issue causing it this time. I wanted to let everyone know the problem is upstream of
our project, in case you had calls trying to connect us to the sediment.

Thanks,

Kevin

Want to let you all know about upstream erosion from Bridge # 050001 Ruffin Street in Avery county. Was cloudy
Monday 7-28-2020 and Tuesday the 29th was really muddy. Pictures are from the 29th. Both day it ran like that all day.
Thanks Jason Tillery
