Casper Star-Tribune from Casper, Wyoming • 2

to I Casper Star-Tribune Tuesday, July 13, 1965 $1.5 Million Project Casper-Alcova Road Rebuilding Many Casperites, especially sports enthusiasts, have been experiencing some delays lately on their way from Casper to Alcova, due to road repairs at Goose Egg and northeast of Alcova. These delays, however, will not be without their reward. Wyoming Highway Department District Engineer Robert B. Newman has promised that with the completion of the $1,575,000 worth of construction on these two sections of road, drivers will be provided with a straighter, smoother, safer highway. The section at Goose Egg under construction is 4.9 miles long, running from the Goose 9gg Ranch to "the narrows" where the Platte River nearly with the highway.

Also in this particular project, 2.1 miles of county road is being improved as well. At present, the contractor, Forgey Brothers of Casper, is employing 55 men and expects to complete this $775,000 worth of road repairs by August 1. Of course, the "cleaning up" of the area after construction will take a little longer. This will entail mainly planting grass along the roadway, which should be finished by the first of September. However, Newman said that it is almost certain the new section of highway will be open for traffic no later than Aug.

1. new section of road, which swings north of the existing highway then reconverges at the 'narrows'," Newman said, "will improve the snow and ice conditions which have existed on the hilly section southwest of Goose 7gg. The engineer explained that this new section of highway has been constructed in such a manner as to permit the road to be expanded into a four-lane highway, should the need ever arise. "This new highway will straighten out nearly all the curves," I he said, "and will flatten out the hilly The road itself will have 12-foot wide driving lanes and five feet of paved shoulder on each side, greatly enhancing the safety over the existing highway. Newman said that at least one roadside rest area is planned and will be situated in an area that will overlook the river.

The biggest probem that the contractor has encountered since he was authorized to begin work on the section Feb. 19, 1964, has been the rainy spring this year which caused a number of minor erosions along the roadbed. "However, delays have been only very minor ones, Newman said. Project engineer for the Highway Department on this section is Jack Kallas. Rod Forgey is superintendent for the contractor, Although it is not readily apparent, almost the entire stretch of road from the Goose Egg Ranch, southwest to Alcova is undergoing repair of one sort or another.

Another area of construction begins where the Goose Egg section leaves off at "the narrows." Here the Highway Department will "seal" 6.9 miles of the existing highway to the Platte River Bridge, southwest of the Medicine Bow cut-off. The second major area present- Rites Slated for Carl S.

Here, the highway will be completely regraded and resurfaced, and in one area, relocated. Three miles of this section, from Alcova to the northeast, will be relocated north of the existing road, to eliminate a number of sharper curves. Contractors for this area are Rissler and McMurry of Casper, who are employing 56 men to complete this $800,000 project by Dec. 1. Currently the project, which began Dec, 9, 1984, is about half complete, according to Newman.

Project engineer for the Highway Department on this section is W. E. Comin. Next year, Newman said the highway Department plans to improve 6.5 miles of the highway from Alcova southwest. This will include the hilly, twisting section of road which climbs high above Alcova Reservoir.

Again, grades will be flattened where ever possible and a considerable portion of the road will be relocated. Newman said he hopes that it will be possible to begin construction on that section of highway early next spring. "The project will take about a year to complete," he said, "but at this time, it is impossible to estimate what the cost of such a project will be." Newman pointed out that due to the steepness of the hills along this portion of the road, he feels almost certain that a number of truck-passing lanes will be incorporated into the new construction. Also, he said there will probably be a "picture turn-out" built to overlook Alcova Reservoir. "One other area on Highway 220, between Casper and Rawlins, is being considered by the Highway Department for possible improvements next year," Newman commented.

"We are currently working on an 18-mile road survey from Lamont south to Willow Hill," Newman explained. It is planned to begin construction of the south six miles of this section early next spring. GATEWAY TO BETTER ROADS: At this point, near the Goose Egg Ranch southwest of Casper, begins one of two large construction projects on Highway 220 between Casper and Alcova. This project, which will cost about $775,000, constitutes about half of the $1,575,000 being spent for improvements on this stretch of highway. BIG HORN BASIN Partly cloudy through Tuesday.

"The program will start in the next couple of weeks," Purcell said. "We will request from the County Attorney's office a an opinion on how far we can go in controlling speeds, and we will also ask the Sheriff's Office how much enforcement they can give us." With fast growing suburban areas around Casper "it seems a must that we do this," Purcell said. Areas to be marked and patrolled will be the Lower Garden Creek Road, from Sunrise to Casper Mountain; Casper Mountain Road; Alcova Lake Road "and many others," the commissioner said.
