Work to Start Soon on Wappanello Dam in Wayne County
Government officials announced bids will be opened at 11 a.m. July 19 for the Wappanello flood control dam on the St. Francis River in Wayne County. The earthen dam will be 2,800 feet long and 70 feet high, part of a congress authorized project. Major Daniel Noce of the U.S. engineers said bidders will have calendar days to complete the project. In a separate report, Camel Braxton, a Baltimore and Ohio train near grade crossing incident, escaped injury after his sedan’s rear wheels and seat failed to cross the tracks.
