Early afternoon today the Elmore County Commission was notified of a large hole in the road at the bridge just off Hwy 231 on Redland Road that resulted in it being closed.
An assessment of the situation was done and Elmore County Engineer Richie Beyer immediately mobilized equipment and staff to begin the emergency road repair.
County crews have worked continuously since this time and at 10:00pm tonight Redland Road has been reopened.
Great job Richie, the Elmore County Highway Dept staff.
Please see statement below from the Commission:
The Elmore County Highway Department completed emergency repairs to Redland Road this evening. As of 10pm, the road was back open to traffic. The County advises everyone to use caution as they travel this stretch of Redland Road as the repairs were intended to restore essential travel and may need additional work after normal traffic resumes.
The County Commission appreciates the patience of our citizens whose normal travel routes were interrupted today.
