After Carl McGee, the Washington County Supervisor for District Three refused to allow IMS Engineering to proceed on a road project in his district, Lorenzo Anderson, the head Engineer for IMS’s Greenville office turned his attention to pending road and bridge projects in District Four.
The work on Old Leland Road is progressing rapidly, despite unfavorable weather conditions throughout the first few weeks of March.
District Four’s Supervisor Mala U. Brooks said phase one of the Old Leland road project was nearing completion in a matter of weeks.
“You may want to take Highway 82 if you are in a hurry,” Brooks said.
If those new ribbons of fresh blacktop weren’t enough of a sign of progress, Brooks said, “This week in District Four, we took out an old bridge on VFW Road and replaced it with two very large culverts.” A very pleased Brooks was happy to add that this project will be completed next Friday should the weather permit.
The old bridge on VFW Road is near New Morning Star Baptist Church, and the road project had the churchgoers singing the praises of the road crew and Brooks for bringing progress to their Church’s doorstep.
