County kickstarts repairs for scoured bridge near Kemp
Body
Kaufman County Commissioners’ Court voted March 24 to start the bid process to address repairing bridge scouring occurring on a structure along County Road 4036, which is just west of Kemp. Kaufman County Precinct 4 Commissioner Tommy Moore said the problem was identified in a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) report that found “a lot of water coming downstream and a lot of erosion under this bridge.” Moore said TxDOT didn’t recommend performing the work, but instead, “we got the ‘You will fix this’,” Moore stated.
