Return to Story IndexI CAMP CREEK BRIDGE
THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION WILL HOLD A PUBLIC MEETING THURSDAY AS THEY CONSIDER A NEW ALTERNATIVE TO REPLACING THE RUSTING PRIVATE ABRAHAM SAMS MEMORIAL BRIDGE OVER THE ELK RIVER. THE NEW APPROACH WOULD BUILD THE BRIDGE WHERE THE EXISTING SPAN SITS. THAT WOULD MEAN MONTHS OF CLOSURE, SOME CAMP CREEK RESIDENTS ARE WORRIED IT WOULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR AMBULANCES AND FIRE TRUCKS TO GET TO THE AREA. OTHERS SAY SPEEDING WILL BE A PROBLEM ON THE TWO LANE APPROACH AND REPLACEMENT SPAN. ONE ROUTE WOULD PUT IT IN SAMPLES' FRONT YARD. THE MEETING IS 4-TO-7 THURSDAY AFTERNOON AT THE BURKE MEMORIAL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH. ONE RESIDENT SAID IF THE OLD BRIDGE CLOSES DURING CONSTRUCTION IT WILL BE A 17 MILE TRIP FROM CLAY FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO REACH HER HOME.

THE APPLACHIAN BASIN NATURAL GAS VEHICLES EXPO AND CONFERENCE IS IN TOWN. THIS IS ALL ABOUT PROMOTING THE ADVANTAGES OF USING NATURAL GAS IN VEHICLES, SPECIFICALLY TO LET YOU KNOW YOU CAN CONVERT YOUR TO RUN ON NATURAL GAS, AND THAT YOU CAN PUT A LOT OF MONEY IN YOUR POCKET BY DOING SO, THROUGH THE STATE'S AGGRESSIVE TAX INCENTIVE PROGRAM... AND IT CAN BE A BIG COST-SAVER FOR BUSINESSES. For the fleets, when you can fuel your vehicle and some of these vehicles use maybe 100 to 125 gallons a day, it makes a lot of sense to be able to cut your fuel bill in half.
