The state Blewett Highway will be improved next week under S A Blankenship by the forestry department with an $8000 expenditure to reduce the grade to 5 per cent. Funds will be shared between Chelan and Kittitas counties near the summit with cooperative support from the forestry department. The old road use will be maintained as much as possible until the new connection is completed and two bridges previously required are eliminated in the survey plan. When finished the Blewett road will rival the state's best mountain pass roads with enhanced scenic appeal.
