Whitley County Judge Executive Pat White Jr . spoke to the Times- Tribune about the accomplishments of Whitley County over the past year and what the county is looking forward to in 2024 .
One accomplishment that Judge White was particularly proud of was the county ' s efforts to restore roads in Whitley County that were damaged by flooding .
Flooding in Whitley County damaged many vulnerable road ways , often in the form of
road slides .
Road slides ( land slides that impact roads ) create dangerous road ways and often render certain paths impassable .
Judge White said ," So far , we have fixed 40 to 50 roadways that were damaged by flooding ."
One of the methods utilized to fix the roads involved cribbing .
In this method , future flood damage is prevented by utilizing cribbing that allows for some slack , but will lock the road in place
