Butte Faces Years Without Major Highway Projects
City officials heard from Jack Beckett of the State Highway Commission that major highway construction in Butte is unlikely for at least two years. Projects include West Park to Excelsior delays and a possible year postponement with a $70,000 cost increase, plus Harrison Avenue work delayed to 1975 and possibly 1977 due to funding. An interim four lane road near Plaza will be finished in about 30 days, while Grand Avenue reconstruction is set for 1975. The county’s urban road funds are depleted, causing debt and slow progress.
