The terrain in this area is somewhat spongy and the time allotted for settlement is part of the engineering requirements to assure a sound base for the roadway. One of the two overpasses to be built is located at Lakepoint the other is at about the halfway point at Burmester. The new section begins at Lakepoint where the present four lane divided highway ends. It then curves around the end of the lake to connect with another new section of 1-80 at Timpie. THIS NEW route will reduce the distance from Lakepoint to Timpie by about six miles as compared with the present highway 40 route which winds through Mills Junction and Grantsville.

Around 66,000 tons of gravel will be laid as a finish course before the paving operation begins. The gravel is being obtained from a state gravel pit near Mills Junction (about three miles south of the job site). It has been estimated that about 150 working days will be required to complete the paving of the section of highway The body of a man estimated to be between 45 and 50 years old was found early today one and two tenths miles west of Mills Junction on Highway 40. Trooper Dan Chidester of the Utah Highway Patrol said the man had been shot in the chest and was lying along a fence line between 25 and 30 feet from the roadway. Three bullet holes were also found in the victim's right short sleeve.

No identification papers were found on the body which was taken to University Hospital for examination by pathologists. An autopsy was started at 1:30 p.m. and officers were hopeful that it would aid them in discovering who the man was. Sheriff's deputies report finding important leads to the man's identity. An IML truck driver reportedly first spotted the victim at about 8:15 today.

He told police he at first thought it was a hippy sleeping alongside of the road.
