The City of Weldon Spring has announced an extended closure of Wolfrum Road following a significant landslide washout due to heavy rainfall. The mudslide has rendered the road unsafe for travel, prompting city officials to respond to ensure public safety immediately.
Mayor Donald Licklider has authorized an emergency contract with Cochran Engineering to develop comprehensive repair plans for the affected area. This decision expedites the evaluation and restoration process, allowing the city to act swiftly in addressing the damage caused by the mudslide.
“Public safety is our top priority,” said Mayor Licklider. “We are taking immediate steps to assess and repair Wolfrum Road to ensure it is safe for our residents and visitors. Our partnership with Cochran Engineering will help us formulate a clear plan for restoration.”
The closure begins at Patriotic Trail and continues one-tenth of a mile northeast on Wolfrum Road. All traffic must avoid the area and use alternative routes until the repairs are complete. The city will provide updates as more information becomes available and a timeline for reopening the road is established.
City officials are collaborating with Cochran Engineering to evaluate the extent of the damage and develop a plan that reduces disruption while ensuring a comprehensive and safe repair process.
