River Bank Repair

Some of the banks along the Smoky Hill River could require a remake or construction of retaining walls near Bill Burke Park.

Salina City Manager Jacob Wood joined in on the KSAL Morning News Extra with a look at a range of topics around the city, including a plan to restore some of the banks that were washed away with last summer’s rain.

Wood says the banks and a concrete intake will both likely require some work.

 

Heavy rainfall last June, July and September led to a high volume of water and created a massive log jam near Bill Burke Park, prompting a months long effort to remove it.

No timeline has been announced for the river bank project to begin.
