Road washouts are becoming more common in the Municipality of Chester. Warden Alan Webber says the water is coming over the roads much more frequently. He says following the last big rain and wind storm some significantly sized rocks washed up into the roadway in Western Shore. Webber says the concerns are being forwarded to the Department of Transportation. Webber suggests consideration be given to place more effective barriers such as rock walls to prevent the smaller rocks and gravel washing away from the shoulders of roads when storm surges take place.
