Kimberly Road Culverts Demonstrate Flood Control Progress
Kimberly Road culverts received their first baptism by high water last weekend as the Hocking River rose. Residents report the new drainage capability kept traffic open and reduced flood levels in adjacent bottoms. The project, led by the State Highway Department with Athens County and local residents, aims to widen the river channel and prevent road closures during floods.
