MONTGOMERY COUNTY – Montgomery County road crews were busy last week dealing with the aftermath of heavy rains and flash flooding experienced across Montgomery County last week.
Heavy rains moved through Montgomery County February 7 and 8 causing flash flooding in many parts of the county. Montgomery County Judge Bart Williams shared that eight to 10 inches of rain were reported across the area over the two day period. This led to flash flooding in the many creeks and rivers that weave their way through the county.
Flash flooding damaged bridges in different areas. County road crews responded to damage to bridges and debris at several bridge locations. Some of the hardest hit were the low-water bridge on Kennedy Cut-off Road, Burgess Road, Buttermilk Springs Road and Peace Valley.
Bus routes were also affected but did not prevent students from making it safely home.
County Judge Williams would like to thank everyone for their patience as his road crew members worked to clear debris and repair damage to bridges and culverts. He would also like to commend his road crew foremen Dutter Whisenhunt and Rod Powell for their quick response to each situation.
