Well isn't that nice. Rogers is willing to provide material to widen a small portion of Burnt Knob road, just from the quarry to the new exchange. That's roughly 1.25 miles or road. And a fairly straight stretch at that.
The more dangerous section of Burnt Knob that is heavily traveled by those huge trucks is from the quarry entrance west to Almaville. There is a steep hill right by the Green Hills Baptist church that terminates in a sharp curve and a sharp double curve near Stewarts Creek Road. It was this particularly dangerous part of the road where an accident occurred last month involving a dump truck and a minivan.
If the Rogers Group truly wants to be a better neighbor, they need to widen ALL of Burnt Knob and seriously monitor the truck traffic to and from the quarry.

I agree with HuskyLover. And, it would also help if they would teach their truck drivers which side of the road, depending on which way they are traveling, they need to stay on!!

You are so right, Boo. If the trucks could just learn how to slow it down a bit. Ever notice that at the intersection of Burnt Knob and the new Beesley, that if you look at the road where they have to turn onto Beesley, and at I-840, at both the east and west bound entrance to the onramps, there is allways a pile of loose gravel, where the trucks are overloaded and spilling there load on the road. Now for other vehicles, the loose gravel makes for a dangerous turn. You can forget about our wonderful County sheriff department doing there job, they don't own any radar guns, (according to one police man that was making excuses as to why they can't do there job, when questioned about it.)
