Highway Commission approves raising of five state highways
The Town Highway Commission agreed to raise five state highways near Red Rock Dam in a $12 million project with the U S Army Corps of Engineers. The commission will manage the work and be reimbursed by the Corps. The panel also approved large blue and white signs on the interstate directing motorists to service stations restaurants and motels. Signs will be five by nine feet, replacing smaller directional signs mainly near Des Moines, with no commercial ads and only on rural interstates. Signs require a nearby open 24 hour business and placement within set distances from the highway.
