Show Duchesne Road Osves Way; Being Repaired The accompanying picture i shows what erosion can do to a road. This slipping earth could have caused tragedy in our county during the Memorial Day holidays. It shows where the road slipped away on the dugway north of Duchesne on the state highway. Road officials state that water possibly loosened loosen-ed the top layers of soil and caused it to slip away from the deep clay base. Traffic was halted while state road equipment dug in farther on the point of the bench to make another traffic lane. The location of the slide was approximately approx-imately one-third way down the dugway. A car would have been hurtled approximately 25 feet down then would have likely rolled to the bottom of the valley, val-ley, had the eroded road not been flagged in time. This is within the Duchesne City limits. |
