Supervisors were informed Wednesday that the state Department of Transportation had approved about a third the road-striping money Warren County had expected to receive this year.

That added $78,000 to the local cost of planned work for the fiscal year, District 5 Supervisor Richard George said.

The work also included adding raised reflectors along center lines.

&#8220We didn’t expect that kind of expenditure out of our funds,” George said, adding that some road-striping may be able to be delayed.

Striping will probably begin after the first of the year, George said.

&#8220We get several calls on it,” George said of deteriorating striping on county roads. Unstriped roads are more hazardous, especially at night and in bad weather.

Separately, stabilization work has been done beneath the board’s office building on Jackson Street in preparation for replacement of a retaining wall.

About $9,000 has been spent since much of the wall, adjacent to the building at 913 Jackson St., collapsed after an Oct. 16 rain, said Carl Flanders, District 4 supervisor and board president.

John McKee of ABMB Engineers Inc. gave a report Wednesday, saying a contractor that has been doing soil-stabilization work along the west side of U.S. 61 South, Hayward Baker of Odenton, Md., has submitted an estimate. Including related drainage work and permits, supervisors expect the project to cost about $211,800, George said.

The wall is made of brick and is believed to be at least 181 years old. It forms a boundary between the board building and Vicksburg Auditorium, city property. Which government owns the wall is yet to be determined.

Both governments have declared the collapse an emergency so repairs could be expedited, but how costs will be shared has not been decided.

&#8220It’s the most important thing we’ve got going right now as far as I’m concerned,” George said during supervisors’ informal meeting.

A technique called soil-nailing is to be used to anchor the replacement wall that is to be built and the existing wall is to be removed.

Supervisors are scheduled to meet in regular session Monday at 9 a.m.
