The latest on Holland Road Bridge is in this email received last Thursday,
"Mayor Blancett-
I wanted to send you an email to let you know that, although James Construction crews are working diligently on the retaining walls and approach to FM 2268 bridge, it will not be open for traffic by January 31 as previously promised. It turns out, as crews got started a few weeks ago, they found that the fill material behind the wall was wetter and more unstable than they had realized. This along with the presence of some groundwater has slowed the progress. However, we have been told they feel they will be complete with the repairs and have the bridge open, weather permitting, by February 20, 2015.
I regret to bring you this news but I assure you work will continue relentlessly until the bridge is open once again to traffic. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this issue."
Based on this email, I have invited TXDOT and James Construction and they have accepted to meet with the citizens of Salado, 17 February, 6:30 P.M. The location will be determined today. Even though the crew has been working and the weather has been wet, it is time for constructive, positive straight talk.
You are encouraged to attend. Tomorrow, the location of the meeting will be posted in this blog.
