Our crew tended to shoulder grading along #BCHwy1 North of Duncan today. Ensuring water sheds properly off the travel portion onto the shoulder is critical. Excess material was removed & swept up with an open broom loader.

Tree and log debris builds up over time along shoulders and banks from strong winds or high volumes of water. This can reduce proper water drainage. Our backhoe operator tends to a timely clean-up out west near Shirley today.
