Road work around the city of Kampsville is underway as the Mayor of Kampsville, Wade Gibson.
Gibson announced on Wednesday, Sept. 15. County Highway Department crews recently completed road repair and maintenance work in the Village of Hamburg and are now working on repairs and maintenance for the Village of Kampsville.
“It is anticipated that the work in Kampsville will be completed before the end of September,” Kyle Godar P.E. County Engineer for Calhoun County Highway Department said. “ The work that is being completed is a combination of repairs related to damage from the flood of 2019 and normal general maintenance.”
Godar also mentioned that the flood repair work is being paid for with 80% Federal funds that were secured through cooperation between FEMA, IEMA and County and Village officials.
“The general maintenance work is being paid for out of the normal allotments of MFT (Motor Fuel Tax) funds received by the Village of Kampsville.” Godar explained.
According to Gibson’s Facebook page which said, “They have begun doing some much needed patching, oil, and chipping. You may have noticed the Calhoun County Department guys working already.”
