Show SOUTHEAST UTAH MAY GET BRIDGE The State Department of Publicity Pub-licity is transferring $4,000.00 to the State Road Commission to finance preliminary surveys for the proposed $100,000.00 bridge over the Colorado River a few miles above the town of Hite in southeastern Utah. An automobile road, Jonstructed into this region in 1945-46 by the P I D as an access road constructed to one of the state's most attractive and undeveloped scenic areas, was put out of commission recently when the toll ferry operated over the Colorado at Hite was swept away and lost in the Colorado flood waters. The construction of the proposed bridge over the Colorado will break all geographical barriers for the first time between southern Utah and southeastern Utah and facilitate tourist travel between scenic attractions in remote sections sec-tions of Colorado and New Mexico and Utah. i |
