NATCHEZ — Just three months after Adams County fixed an erosion problem on Martin Luther King Jr. Road, the problem has returned and supervisors are considering suing the company that made the original repairs.The Adams County Board of Supervisors President Calvin Butler said Monday that Camo Construction company from Vidalia repaired the slippage just before Christmas in 2017, but holes and erosion recently reappeared on the stretch of Martin Luther King Jr. Road near Anna’s Bottom.

Butler said the county blocked off portions of the road and lined the area with emergency signals and is in the process of assessing how best to repair the problem.

“We just want to see what it would take to fix it and whether we can do it ourselves,” Butler said.

Butler said he sent Robbie Dollar, road manager, to assess the problem.

In the board of supervisors meeting Monday, Dollar said he had already gone to the site and taken photos of the damage.

In February 2017, before the first repairs to the road, County Engineer Jim Marlow said the project would take more than $100,000 to fix.

Butler said he does not yet know how much money the current damage could cost to repair but said the damage is less serious than the original erosion.

When the road originally eroded, a portion of the lane fell into a 30- to 40-foot ravine, leaving a hole several feet deep in the roadway.

Supervisor Ricky Gray, in whose district the erosion occurred, said he considers the problem to be quite serious.

“It’s only getting worse,” Gray said.

Though originally declared a long-term emergency watershed project, Butler said the erosion became an emergency and had to be repaired quickly.

Camo Construction completed the original repairs at a cost of $182,000.

During executive session, board attorney Scott Slover said the supervisors would discuss possible litigation concerning Camo Construction and the Martin Luther King Jr. Road site.
