Go Ahead Given .. . v t- ir I .s 'm, for Route A HEBER CITY (July County has received approval from the Bureau of Reclamation to do the design and construction work on Route A, the southern route around the proposed Jordanelle Dam. The County Commission sought permission to undertake the project because of the importance of the road link between Heber Valley and Kamas. They felt that the county would have a better road if the design and construction were supervised at the local level. Along with the Bureau's approval they issued specifications for the road. These specifications have raised some questions from the commissioners. As given by the bureau, the specifications call for a 35 mph road, twenty eight feet in width. The commission feels this inadequate and wish to upgrade the standards.

The $5,000,000 figure given by the Bureau does not appear to be adequate to construct the type of road the County wants. Commis sioner Pete Coleman stated that he felt it would take at least $1 1 .000,000 to construct a road to meet county specifications. Awarding of any contracts, for either design or construction, will have to wait until a firm funding commitment is made by the BOR. At the present time funding for the continued con struction of the Central Utah Project awaits voter, approval at the general election this fall. It is not known if money for Rte A can be obtained before that time. Further meetings are planned between the County and BOR to clarify matters and iron out differences in the road specs. |
