Q&A
Does the project include cleaning the ditch similar to the cleaning that was completed in the 90’s?
Monroe County conducted a survey of the ditch in February Further analysis of the drainage ditch concluded that reconstruction or maintenance in this area would be ineffective to improve the roadway drainage because the topography in the area is relatively flat.
