Nephi Levan The rebuilding and widening of state highway 91, from Nephi to re van, a distance or II miles, has been placed on the anoroved for this year, according project to William Osborne, district engineer who was In Nephi Tuesday. This section of the state highway will be widened to 32 feet, with a twenty foot oiled surface. The grading and oiling will be contracted, according to Mr. and will be commenced in the very near future. Work will commence soon on oiling of state highway 28 between Levan and Gunnison, the contract having been awarded to James Sumsion of Springville. When this work is competed, highway 28 will be completely oiled" from Levan to Gunnison. Six miles of the Nephi Leamington road, is being considered as a fall project by the state road commission, but it has not yet had the approval of the commission, however it is almost certain that this much work will be done on this shortcut route to west Millard county, according to Russell Hawk-kin- s, chairman of the Juab County Commission. The work will be done on the Leamington end of the road, starting at the Juab County line and running toward Nephi. Another project for this summer, which will be recommended to the State Road Commission by Engineer Osborne, is the widening of State highway 91 from Nephi to the Utah Countjj Line. On account of the increased travel on this highway, it will be recommended that gravel surface shoulders be widened on each side of the eighteen foot cement, with a possibility that a Atrip of oiled surfaced material be built along the side of the oresent cement road. The increased use of the state highway by. thousands of large trucks and increased passenger cars is making the widening of highway 91 an absolute necessity.
