Paving on No 30 Accords With Big Springs Junction Work
Concrete paving on Highway 30 from three miles west of Brule to Big Springs Junction is about 20 percent complete. Project engineer David O. Coolidge said one half mile laid and nearly four miles graded with 100 workers, expecting full completion by November 15 given favorable weather. The new slab is 24 feet wide, eight inches thick with steel reinforcement and 10 foot shoulders on each side. The overall highway widening follows the standard 44 foot width used in recent years, contrasting with older 24 foot slabs and three foot shoulders. This is the state’s largest highway project this year and part of a broader program to extend pavement westward from Paxton to the Big Springs junction.
