This culvert will carry runoff from the north side of the road to the swampy area on the south side of the road.
A tar-like sealer is first applied followed by gravel
Jefferson Road, between Hayes and Ocean Beach, is closed today. Work crews have opened up a section of the road to repair a culvert that allows water to drain from ditches on the north side of the road to a swamp on the south side of the road. The on-site crew believes work will be completed today, unless interrupted by weather.
Jackson County road crews also took the opportunity to lay down a tar-like sealer and cover it with gravel. So beware of loose gravel in that area of Jefferson Road when it reopens.
Additionally the road side growth was getting a trim this morning.
