Sounds good about next Wednesday. I’ll let you know about times and if they delay till later in the week. I’ll meet you up there. The bridge on HWY 194 (Ashe Bridge #8) hasn’t started yet, but will be a big project. It had to be re-let, as all the bid prices came back to high. I just checked with our project manager and the earliest it would start would be Jan 2022, so, more likely it will start spring of next year after it warms up a little. That said, we could go look at some other projects in the area, and/or recently completed bridge/pipe maintenance projects if needed / you have time.

I’ll pencil in next Weds to take a look at the turbidity curtain and bent removal. Jim mentioned another bridge project on the New R on NC 194. I would like to run by that one too if it is still under construction.

I was nervous when he said you visited since I didn’t know you were coming, but I suppose it might be beneficial to have you show up unannounced from time to time to keep everyone on their toes ???? Regardless, I’m happy that everything looked ok! Jim is a good inspector, and easy to work with. Jim mentioned the turbidity curtain discussion and they plan to install one. It will be a good chance to see how well it works next week while removing the old bents. Sounds like they are going to try and remove the old bents next Wednesday. I’ll follow up with you to confirm, but that’s the plan for now. Did you visit any other sites? I have some follow up work to do on the E section of 221 from our last visit. We have an onsite meeting planned for next Thursday, so I’m going to go over the sites we visited and some other permit sites with project staff and the contractor. Also, we should be having a final on Sampson Rd and the northbound bridge over the Yadkin River overflow on 421 soon – I just came from the latter and it looks good! Will plan to touch base early next week.

They were working on causeway removal and placement. There was some turbidity associated with the operation from riprap fines. We discussed that a turbidity curtain would be helpful both while installing/removing the existing causeway and while demolishing the old bents. The stream appears to be deep enough along the banks to facilitate curtain efficacy. So anything you can do to move that forward would be appreciated. All else looked good - SDO’s were maintained and I observed where a silt bag was used to treat turbid water pumped from the drilled shafts - per conversation with Jim. Let me know when they plan to remove the old bents so I can try and get out there to observe. Thanks. Dave W.
