Vandalism delays reopening of Newberry Hill Road	8/26/2024
The Kitsap County Sheriff's Office is investigating a case of first-degree malicious mischief at a culvert construction site on Newberry Hill Rd. and Sesame St. NW. Someone gained access to heavy equipment overnight and used it to cause extensive damage to work underway by Kitsap County Public Works. According to the Public Works Department, a retaining wall sustained significant structural damage, and reopening the road, which remained shut down throughout the summer during construction, is unsafe. Public Works still needs to fully understand the extent of the closure. Crews will need to dig down under the wall to assess the damage and determine how to repair it. Because of the damage, the reopening of the road is being delayed. Paving at the site was set to occur on Monday, and the road was to reopen on September 4, the first day of school. Public Works has contacted Klahowya Secondary School and will work with them on a plan for their operations. Anyone with information leading to a suspect is asked to call 911 or Det. Dekorte at 360-337-5614.
