A road improvement plan at Pleasant View has received a boost in funding.<\/p>\n
The Department of Local Affairs has awarded Montezuma County a $298,600 grant to help pay for a chip-seal paving project on County Roads CC and 10. The county matched the grant with $300,000 worth of labor.<\/p>\n
When completed this summer, the project will have paved 5.5 miles of Road CC west from U.S. Highway 491, to the intersection of Road 10.<\/p>\n
Road 10 between Road CC and Road BB will also be chip-sealed, making the route to the Hovenweep National Monument Visitors Center and Canyons of the Ancients National Monument completely paved.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt provides tourists paved access to those sites and redirects them from the problematic Road BB intersection to Road CC,\u201d said Rob Englehart, county road manager.<\/p>\n
The National Park Service is planning on moving signs directing visitors accessing the monuments from the Road BB intersection with U.S. 491 to the safer Road CC intersection.<\/p>\n
Energy company Kinder Morgan paid $1.5 million to pave Road CC for the first 4.2 miles, which is a main truck route for their carbon-dioxide well and pipeline operations. That portion of the paving project is nearly complete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
