ODOT employee Stacey Sullins is leaning over the West High Street bridge railing as a spotter on this tree removal project Wednesday morning. Crane operator Mike Moore, ODOT District 5, Jacksontown, had a firm hold on the truck with the clam bucket. The reason for the removal is the trunks can damage the bridge structure. Moore said there is still a root ball under the bridge he could not reach. A plan is being developed to remove the root ball. There are seven more bridges to clear, including the one on Ohio 514 over the Mohican River at Greer. A crew was expected to work on that today. (Photo by Virgil Shipley)
“People were calling and complaining about heavy truck traffic on Glen Road between Newark Road and Martinsburg Road, so we put up ‘No Thru Trucks’ signs,” Clinton Township trustee Terry King said. There is a sign at both Martinsburg and Newark roads. Assistant Knox County Engineer Larry Bechtel said the narrow road and a narrow bridge are not suitable for heavy truck traffic. Trucks have been stuck at both intersections recently trying to make the turn. (Photo by Virgil Shipley)
