County approves ROAB road projects for federal aid
County commissioners at their last session designated roads including the Lincoln Highway and the Denver Yellowstone Trail from Lodgepole to Weyerts via Dalton to Potter as the basis for federal and state road aid. Official action in Omaha confirmed approval of these highways for aid while promising to improve the Weyerts Dalton Potter route with state funds. The plan accounts for right of way on railroad property, with assurances that removable sections be replaced on leased ground, and aims to ease hauls to Lodgepole and Potter, hoping for near-future active construction and countywide benefits.
