Roller Coaster Road in Texas to Be Rebuilt as Level Highway
Odessa reports the seven mile Ward County sand dune route known as the roller coaster will be rebuilt into a straight level highway. The Texas Highway Department awarded the contract to reshape the dune crossing, replacing the original contour riding road that followed shifting sands. Officials say wind and sand will no longer bury the road though crews may need ongoing clearing.
