In the aftermath of the April flooding the culvert on 216^th Ave was deemed a total loss, and the road has been closed for several weeks. The Villages of Salem Lakes and Bristol are in the process of replacing the culvert. KR Contractors will begin mobilizing equipment on site over the next few days in preparation for starting work on Thursday (6/18) or Friday (6/19). They will be monitoring the weather closely, and if conditions are too wet, they will postpone the start until Monday (6/22). The project is expected to take one week and is dependent on weather conditions.
