Water under the bridge? It is flowing better under nine key bridges in Davison County after work done in 2020.
Davison County Highway Department workers helped install nearly $45,000 in 1,895 tons of riprap rock under bridge structures to help preserve the integrity of the bridges’ and their backwalls.
The county received some help in paying that riprap cost earlier in December. The James River Water Development District approved a request from Highway Superintendent Rusty Weinberg for $22,350, or half of the project costs.
