<br />changes
<br />
<br />As its sweeps across the
<br />dry lands of Montezuma
<br />County I construction of the
<br />Dove Creek Canal is not only
<br />changing the landscape t:hi!
<br />sununer, but also traffic pat-
<br />terns,
<br />Montezuma County's com-
<br />missioners last week reached
<br />an agreement with Ball, Ball
<br />and Brossamer, Inc., of Dan-
<br />vllle, Calif., contractor for
<br />the $10,093,410 contract on the
<br />"first reach" 01 the canal.
<br />It was agreed that the con-
<br />struction company will be
<br />responsible lor maintenance
<br />cl the detours being created
<br />at points where the canal
<br />crosses county roads.
<br />John Berry an engineer at
<br />the Cortez Bureau of
<br />Reclamation project off1ce,
<br />said last week that some 13
<br />bridges will be built across
<br />the canal lor the county
<br />roads,
<br />Detours, du.st abatement
<br />programs and other means
<br />are being used to ease as
<br />much as possible any
<br />troubles to area residents.
<br />This reach won't go under
<br />U.S. 666, Berry said, but there
<br />will be one place where the
<br />canal will go under the hlg~
<br />way in Reach Three.
<br />However, by that time the
<br />canal will be considerably
<br />smaller near Dove Creek.
<br />The state highway depart-
<br />ment will require that bores
<br />be used under U.s. 666.
