Rocky Mountain Power continues to work south of SR-73 removing poles and placing new ones. As soon as their poles are moved, SR-68 crews plan to fill the holes, patch the surrounding area and make preparations for the removal of barrels so traffic can flow normally over the winter.

General Impacts south of SR-73
Due to cold weather conditions and utility delays, the contractor will need to come back to finalize some paving in the spring. Work in the spring should last only a few weeks and have limited impacts. Crews will continue working on the sidewalk and concrete driveways in the southeast corner of the Crossroads intersection this week. Where possible, only one driveway at a time will be worked on in order to maintain access to the businesses in the area. Approved roadside mailboxes continue to be placed along the project. For safety reasons, federal regulations dictate that these new boxes be placed on breakaway posts. Please note, residents should not alter these boxes after they are installed. Any alterations are at risk of removal and replacement at the property owners’ expense. Crews continue on several clean up items and final adjustments throughout the project, including driveways, landscaping, fence, placing road signs and reflectors, and raising manholes to the level of the road. In order for crews to safely work on these items, some brief access interruptions and lane shifts may occur.

Please note that due to weather, project conflicts, or equipment/supply issues, schedules are subject to change.
