When a Federal Bypass Hits Colorado City
Colorado City residents face a proposed Texas Highway Department bypass of Interstate 20 as 39,000 pounds of bombs fell nearby and a truck toppled into the river. Traffic detours opened a boom town scene with tourists and trucks flooding Colorado City streets while merchants fear losing business if the bypass proceeds. A public hearing is scheduled for July 30 in the county courthouse to discuss the highway split and project details.
