Monticello needs help protecting drainage ditches
The City of Monticello is responsible for maintaining storm drains in public areas and along city streets. Storm drains and ditches divert the water and debris after a storm or rain shower away from road surfaces, public access areas or low basins where water collection could be unhealthy or dangerous.
Around 11 am Tuesday, as most of Drew County was getting pelted by ice pellets, several ice related accidents occurred.
On HWY 278 East, just before Dead Man’s Curve, a maroon Chevy pick-up was off in the ditch.
Just past the curve, near Bordeaux Road, a gold sedan had lost control in the ice, and came to a stop in a nearby bean field.
Just past the next gradual curve, were 3 vehicles, all involved or partially involved, in another mishap .
It started as a gray, westbound Mitsubishi lost control in the ice. The driver avoided colliding with an eastbound Chevy pick up, but the Chevy truck swerved and ended up in the ditch.
The Mitsubishi then struck an oncoming, white Volkswagen Jetta, which was being driven by the wife of the Chevy driver. sending both vehicles spinning into the ditch area.
Drew County Sheriff’s deputies worked the accident(s). No one was reportedly injured, however an ambulance resonded to check out one of the drivers.
The recent ice storm has produced fewer fallen trees and broken limbs than earlier predicted.
The top photo shows a tree that fell on Jordan Drive, Tuesday afternoon.
The lower photo was taken of a North Main St. home, Monday evening. No damage was reported.
Around 10am, Tuesday morning, a UAM student was traveling back to class, westbound on Jordan Drive, when he felt his Jeep loose traction in the ice, “fishtail”, and then rollover on the bridge.
The driver was not injured. Monticello Police worked scene, assisted by Arkansas State Police. The Fire & Rescue Squad was also paged out. Dan’s wrecker towed the vehicle.
Mayor Allen Maxwell, in a recorded statement Monday morning, confirmed that Fire Chief Steven Faulkner has been placed on administrative leave, and an interim Fire Chief has been appointed, effective last Friday.
Two Arkansas companies, The Reata Foundation, Inc, a non-profit institution commissioned to provide affordable and energy efficient housing for the American family, and Concrete & Foam Structures, LLC( CFS), a fabricator of expanded polystyrene (EPS) have joined together to produce a technological advanced building system. The result is an ultra energy efficient residential home for the future era of residential house building.
The AHTD provides statewide highway road conditions at 1-800-245-1672.
Happy 98th Birthday Barta Montgomery (Granny)
We love you
From your grandchildren
Around 10 am, the AHTD was putting salt/sand on the HWY 425 / Jordan Drive overpass, because of ice accumulation.
Roadways and sidewalks are beginning to become slick in some areas, so use caution as you’re out and about, today.
When city hall employees arrived at work this morning, one of them went into the City Council meeting room, and found parts of the ceiling laying on the floor.
It is believed that the weight of the recent heavy rains cause a minor sag in the roof, which caused enough of a bowing effect for the staples holding the ceiling tile to pull loose.
Around 4 am, Sunday, flooding was reportedly enter homes homes on North Gabbert St.
In an interview with the family, they said they heard water running, and when they got out ot bed to see what was wrong, their feet touched the carpet, and that’s when then knew their home was flooded.
The family told KARK and MLive that they had requested the city and state clean out a culvert under North Gabberrt St. that was clogged up with leaves, but no one taken care of the impending problem.
After their hause was flooded, the AHTD cleared the culvert, and the water (in their yard) was soon gone.
Happy 3rd Birthday, Reid
(His birthday was Friday)
