Stevenson gets Highway 40 job A county contractor was the apparent low bidder last week on a section of new highway construction on highway 40, according to reports from the Utah State Road commission. The L. C. Stevenson Construction company, Altamont, submitted a low bid of $847,684.50, for the construction of highway 40 from Fruit-lan- d to Deep Creek. The bid was some $35 thousand llow the engineers estimate for the project. Mr. Stevenson reports that equipment Is already being moved onto the project, with work to begin within the next1 few days. Although the project is described as a complete realignment, the new roadway will almost follow the contour of the present pavement. The new roadway will le a typically bituminous surfaced road, with the steepest grade of 5.5 percent. The realignment will ease the curvature of the roadway, through Deep Creek. The project will furnish an additional 8 feet roadway width for a truck land, along most of the entire project, reports Myron Taylor, Duchesne, project engineer for the Utah State Department of Highways. A view area Is located on the project, approximately 2,000 ft. east of the county line In Duchesne County. It Is an overlook to the south, Into Currant Creek Valley, across from the Murdock ranch.
