Public works projects move forward

COLFAX — Two Public Works projects, the Almota Road construction, and the Scales Project, are coming along.

The four-million-dollar Almota Road project to widen and resurface the road has entered Phase 3.

Public Works Director Mark Storey said they hope to finish the project at the end of this week.

The Almota Road project covers the stretch from milepost 5.82 to milepost 7.96 and aims to enhance safety and traffic flow along the critical roadway.

Storey told the commissioners in June that the road was being torn apart to put rock under it, making it better for year-round traffic.
