MKT Bridge #12 - 6-29-2010

This last weekend's rains have swollen the Hinkson Creek, yet again. We are waiting for the water level to fall again by mid to late week. If the water does fall below the crossing we will be able to set the last section of bridge. Houf Construction has been unable to cross the creek for the last 3 weeks, due to the flooding and rain. Hopefully our luck will change later this week.

Restroom installation at Philips Park

A pre-fabricated restroom was installed at Philips Park. The utility hook-ups and finish concrete work will be done by Park staff over the coming weeks.

MKT Bridge #12 - 6-21-2010

The Hinkson Creek has backed up a further 2 feet at the bridge replacement job site. We do not expect the water level to recede below the construction bypass till at least next week. As mentioned in previous posts, once the water recedes below the bypass, we will have approximately 2 weeks or work till completion.

In the meanwhile before we get started again, please enjoy the site as it is quite peaceful and you can see plenty of wildlife approaching bridge #12 from either East or West.

MKT Bridge #12 - 6-18-2010

Unfortunately we have not been able to progress this week with the Hinkson Creek looking more like a pond than a creek this week. When the water recedes we will update you as to when the final bridge section will be installed. If any of you are interested the steel section of bridge is being stored on the parking lot at Scott on the East side of the road.

Paquin Park Improvements

The wet weather slowed the work at the Paquin but it's picking up. The Horticulture crew is doing some shape up and the fencing contractor should be on site next week.

MKT Bridge #12 - 6-15-2010

The Hinkson is still backed up from the Missouri and work has stalled on the site. Unfortunately all we can do is wait. Once the crossing is passable we will be on site approximately 2 more weeks.

According to the NOAA the Missouri River will crest at Boonville 1:00 a.m. June 20th and at Jefferson City 1:00 a.m. June 21st. When the Missouri recedes so should the Hinkson. Hopefully late next week there will be noticeable progress made (weather permitting)
