Engineering started for East Valley Rd.

East Valley Road was washed out in a few spots near its terminus during last winter's wet weather and preliminary repairs have it looking a little primitive, frustrating at least one resident who lives nearby.

According to Chuck Beyer, Wahkiakum County Public Works issued a request for proposals for design of three culvert failures within Wahkiakum County and chose Otak Engineering to start design work for repairs on East Valley Road.

"Once a design for the repair and all permits have been obtained, the repair will go out to bid and a contract issued in a perfect world," Beyer said, "would occur next year."
