Site work and paving for a road / highway in Viper, Kentucky. Completed plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

This project involves a slide that is above and below Wells Fork Road caused from pre-law mining. The slide removed about 180 feet of the County Road near the Perry/Leslie County line. The slide starts at the upper gravel/dirt road and extends approximately 100 below Wells Fork Road. This road failure has caused the local residents to take alternate routes due to the road closure since the slide occurred. The upper road gravel/dirt will have to be re-constructed for approximately 250 feet due to the slide. The road will be moved back into the hillside. This will require hammering of the rock wall and removal of material along the upper side of the road. The road can then be re-constructed. The lower road will be reconstructed on a new horizontal/vertical alignment by moving the road into the hillside and placed on solid rock, transitioning from the existing road back on both sides of the slide. Both roads will have guardrail installed. Rail Steel will be installed as directed by the ENGINEER depending upon site conditions on both roads. This project involves removing the slide material and hauling it to several waste areas. Waste Area No 1 has to be completely filled before any waste can be disposed of in Waste Area 2 and 3. Waste Area No. 3 has trees larger than 3 inches. If utilized the trees will be cut between Oct 16th and March 31st. Construction disturbances will be kept to a minimum with a stringently formulated sediment and erosion control program. Prior to beginning any major earth disturbance (excluding initial site preparation for access only), all silt control measures will be installed. These include silt traps and silt barriers (bales & silt fence) at the project site and the waste area. No trees greater than 3" diameter at breast height will be cut outside the unstable and eroding areas. All disturbed areas will be promptly revegetated at the end of construction using lime, fertilizer, residential or wildlife seed, and mulch, as necessary. Standard measures will be used for dust control. Access to the site is via county roads and an existing access road.
