Valley Road Contract Rushed Under Clear Weather
Dry conditions speed the 28.8 mile Valley Road project on highway No. 2 from Vandalia to Phillips county. Crews lay drainage and culverts while some workers are laid off. McChesney says dirt work at the county end will finish soon if weather stays fair. Graveling on the east end proceeds with nine yard trucks and two large gravel plants. Irrigation work west of Hinsdale is slowed by conduits but Nelson reservoir shows ample water, limiting damage.
