Show Begin Work on Delta Salt Lake Cutoff Friday County Commissioner Maxfit.ld informs us that the new highway high-way to be constructed between here and Lynndyl and to connect con-nect with the Lincoln Highway High-way near Tooele will soon be a reality. Work on this end of the road will begin tomorrow and teams are now being engaged fjr the work. As we have previously previous-ly stated the road will be built along the Salt Lake track to where the old abandoned grade is and will then use it for a space of about five miles. The old grade is in good shape and a bridge will be placed across the river using the abuttments now standing on the old grade. Negotiations Ne-gotiations are now going on with the railroad company to secure the same girders which spanned the river when the company used the now abandoned right-of-way. It may be some little time before the road is fully complete but when it is, it means a great deal to the towns of this valley. It means that we will be nearly forty miles nearer to Salt Lake bv auto; it means that we will have a better road to travel; it means that we can get to and from Lynndyl and Leamington and other places up the river with half the time and trouble we are now put to; and last, but by no means least, we will all of us in the valley enjoy greatly increased in-creased auto travel which will be diverted this way by reason of a direct good road from Salt Lake over which many of the tourists who will travel the new route to Southern California "The Arrowhead Arrow-head Trail" will come, and this new "Arrowhead Trail" is going to be the one best way to Southern South-ern California too. Thanks to the commissioners for this piece of work and also for the fact that they are now preparing to complete this end of the new road which was started start-ed last spring to connect Delta and Fillmore. |
