Show Wellington to Price Road to be Rebuilt U.S. 50-6 between East Price and Wellington will get long needed improvement improve-ment under a S377,965 contract the Utah State Road Commission recently re-cently awarded to L. A. Young Sons Construction Co. of Richfield. Currently, the old narrow nar-row road runs atop a high fill with steep slopes, leaving no room for emergency em-ergency stops. The uneven un-even surface of the road is also quite hazardous, especially for truckers along this much traveled route. The contract will widen the roadbed to provide two 11 -foot travel lanes and six foot wide shoulders. shoul-ders. It will also com- pletely resurface the 8-mile 8-mile stretch of highway. Utah Highway Department Depart-ment Project Engineer, Jerry Mecham said the project may cause some traffic slowdown and that motorists should watch out for flagmen stationed to guide traffic. Construction Con-struction will begin in April and should be entirely en-tirely completed by this fall." |
