New Mountain Road Opens After Grading and Widening
The Springbrook mountain road is now graded and partially gravelled, running 8,000 feet from the W. E. Burke line on Chehalem mountain to Virgil Mills. It reduces steep grades, provides a 24 foot wide bed, and will serve about fifty families once completed at an estimated total cost around 12,500 dollars. The project, started last March, is funded by local contributions and county funds, with four hairpin turns and careful design for safety.
