Kim Graham, 17 of Sugar
City was recently selected as
Miss Sugar City, 2011. Miss
Graham, who will be a junior at
Crowley County High School in
the fall, is the daughter of Mary
Johnson also of Sugar City. A
selection committee from the
senior citizens was formed to
pick Miss Sugar City in May.
All girls aged 15 and up and
from the Sugar City area were
invited to participate. The girls
were asked to write an essay
on why they wanted to be Miss
Sugar City and then they were
interviewed. Three girls were
interviewed with Graham being
selected the winner.
According to John Hijar,
spokesman for the senior
citizens, the contest is one way
that the group of people has
of giving back to the youth of
the area. A scholarship of up
to $500 accompanies the title
and can be used at the col-
lege of their choice. The group
has a committee of people that
have fundraisers and ask for
Miss Sugar City In
Missouri Day Parade
donations throughout the year
for the contest. We wanted to
do something to help the youth
of our area realize that are ways
of going on to college and getting
a good education. We need to
give back to them, this is one of
those ways, says Hijar. We are
always looking for sponsors and
concerned citizens to help.
While Graham made her
first appearance in the Missouri
Day parade recently, she is look-
ing forward to this upcoming
weekend at Crowley County
Days. Besides being Miss Sugar
City, she will be attending
summer camp, and starting to
practice for the upcoming sports
seasons. Graham is involved in
volleyball, basketball, drama
and band in school. In her spare
time she enjoys her family, her
pets, horses, and volunteering
at the nursing home. After high
school, Kim is looking forward
to attending Bob Jones Uni-
versity in South Carolina and
hopes to one day become a busi-
ness attorney.

4-H is a non-school pro-
gram funded in part by state
governments through their agri-
cultural college and university
extension programs, which were
originally developed to bring
current farming and ranching
research out the the academic
setting and into practice in agri-
business. Although the livestock
programs are often the most
visible ones in rural areas, 4-H
encompasses many programs
suitable for urban youth. The
4-H pledge is as as follows;
I pledge my head for clearer
thinking, my heart to greater
loyalty, my hands to larger ser-
vice, my health to better living,
for my club, my community, and
my world.

Rodriguez Family Reunion Held
(Courtesy Photo)
Juan Rodriguez and Petra Paez
Rodriguez, who lived here from
1940 until Juans death in 1982,
gathered at the Arkansas Valley
Fairgrounds and at South Park
in Ordway for a family reunion.
Of the eleven children of
Juan and Petra, only the eldest
son, Joe Rodriguez and his
sister, Susan Salinas, still live
in Ordway.
Their brothers Gilbert
Rodriguez, Rocky Ford, Johnny
Rodriguez, La Junta, and Pete
Rodriguez, Pueblo, all attended
the reunion along with their
sister Katie Berumen of Azusa,
CA. Seven of Juan and Petras
children survive.
The elder Rodriquez lived
on Mitchell Street in Ordway for
over 35 years.
Family members came from
as far away as Idaho and Cali-
fornia and ranged in age from
1 month old Isabella Romero
to 85 year old Susan Salinas of
Ordway.
Counting all 205 descen-
dants of the couple, few of whom
were not able to attend, 12 are
children, 31 are grandchildren
and the remaining 162 are great
and great-great-grandchildren.
The gathering began at the
Arkansas Valley Fairgrounds
4-H Event Center with a dinner,
a raffle of 2 heirloom quilts
embedded with rare family
photos, and the introduction of
family members, some of whom
had not seen each other in
decades and some of whom had
never met. The nights events
ended with a dance.
A pig roast and barbeque
ended the reunion the next day
at South Park in Ordway along
with the snapping of family
photos

Juan And Petra rodriguez Family today
The surviving members of Juan and Petra Rodriguez family are, from left to right,
Johnny Rodriguez, La Junta, Pete Rodriguez, Pueblo, Gilbert Rodriguez, Rocky Ford, Ka-
tie Berumen, Azusa, CA and Susan Salinas and Joe Rodriguez, both of Ordway, were
joined by some 205 younger members of their family recently for a reunion. The gathering
increased Ordways population by about 10% that day.

rodriquez Family As Children
The 11 Rodriquez children were, left to right, in front, Johnny, Dolores, Gilbert, Joe,
Paul and Pete, with Maire, Cecilia, Susan, Elizabeth and Katie in the back. On the day this
picture was taken, Juan and Petra sent their 11 children by train to the town of Lamar to
a photography studio. Since there were so many subjects, the photographer made many
attempts at rearranging the group. Between the several trips back and forth to his old
timey camera with the cape and rearranging the group, the children could not withhold
the giggles. After many attempts, and out of frustration with the giggles, the photographer
refused to work with the group anymore and refused to take their picture. Predicting the
disappointment of their parents, the children restrained themselves for one last try and
this is the picture that resulted. After it was snapped, the children lost control again.

relevant to this proceeding in that such terms and condi-
tions temporarily limit the volume of water Aurora may
divert and store in Pueblo reservoir, AGPR, Lake Henry

Water Conservancy District, Part B of Case No. 99CW169
will be dismissed. In that event, there will be diversions
pursuant to 99CW169(B)]. Amounts exchanged or di-

DONE TOWARD COMPLETiON OR FOR COMPLETiON
OF THE APPROPRiATiONS AND APPLiCATiON OF
WATER TO A BENEFiCiAL USE AS CONDiTiONALLY
DECREED. During the diligence period of July 2005
through June 2011, Aurora performed the following work
and made the following expenditures toward completion
of the appropriations and application of the water rights
decreed in the Original Decree to benefcial use (Expen-
diture numbers are rounded to the nearest $1000): 4.1.
Project Specifc Efforts: Aurora has done at least the
following project-specifc work toward completion of the
appropriations and application of the conditional water
rights decreed in Case No. 99CW170(A) to benefcial use:
4.1.1. Revegetation: During this diligence period, 99.7%
as the percentage of completion for revegetation of for-
merly irrigated lands required under the decree in Case
No. 99CW169(A) was achieved, to allow for operation of
the exchanges that are the subject of this Application and
use of the exchanged water by Aurora. Aurora expended
over $1,472,000 during this diligence period for revegeta-
tion, including expenditures for expert revegetation clas-
sifcations and reports, and actual revegetation and weed
control costs. 4.1.2. Payment for Rocky Ford Ditch shares:
Aurora spent more than $6,179,000 during this diligence
period for repayment of bonds and payments to Note
Sellers, including principal and interest, that were issued
or refunded for purchase of Applicants share of the
Subject Rocky Ford Ditch Company shares that are the
source of the water for the exchanges herein. 4.1.3. Ar-
kansas Gravel Pit Reservoir (AGPR). Aurora made
signifcant efforts to secure the AGPR that is a necessary
facility for some of the exchanges that are the subject of
this Application. Aurora entered into a purchase Option
Agreement with LaFarge West, Inc. in 2003 for develop-
ment of the LaFarge Rich Pit for use by Aurora as the
AGPR storage facility upon completion of gravel mining /
mineral extraction by LaFarge. This Agreement was ex-
tended several times including the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
Option Extension Agreements executed during this dili-
gence period, on September 19, 2005, March 10, 2006
and September 8, 2006, respectively. During this diligence
period, Aurora paid $30,100 as consideration for these
extensions to be applied as earnest money for the pur-
chase price of the completed storage facility. In March
2006, Deere and Ault also performed a Reservoir Feasi-
bility Study of the Rich Pit for Aurora, at a cost of $26,000.
Aurora also made efforts to investigate and negotiate
alternative storage facility sites for the AGPR. Recent
negotiations include with Stonewall Springs Ranch and
Southwest Sod Farms. Aurora has expended more than
$12,000 in legal fees with regard to these option agree-
ment and negotiation efforts. 4.1.4. Payment to Rocky
Ford School District R-2: The payments that Aurora agreed
to make under an Intergovernmental Agreement with
Otero County to compensate for the Countys loss of
property taxes and assessments, include taxes Otero
County collects on behalf of the Rocky Ford School District
R-2. Aurora and the School District entered into a separate
Intergovernmental Agreement on February 7, 2005 under
which Aurora agreed to make accelerated payments to
the School District for that portion of the money due to the
School District by Aurora. Aurora and Otero County
amended their Intergovernmental Agreement to allow that
portion of the assessments due to the School District to
be paid directly by Aurora to the Foundation for Rocky
Ford schools. During this diligence period, Aurora made
payments totaling $1,200,000 to this Foundation under
this agreement. 4.1.5. Pueblo Reservoir Storage: During
this diligence period, Aurora paid the Bureau of Reclama-
tion more than $3,197,000 for storage use of Pueblo
Reservoir necessary to operate these exchanges. Aurora
also paid the Bureau of Reclamation $225,000 for long-
term storage as well as an additional $943,000 for con-
sultants and legal fees for the long-term storage contract.
4.1.6 Assessments Paid for Use of Twin Lakes, Lake
Henry/Lake Meredith, Rocky Ford Ditch: During this dili-
gence period, Aurora paid at least the following in annual
assessments: $277,000 for Twin Lakes Company;
$1,117,000 for the Colorado Canal/Lake Henry/Lake
Meredith; $232,000 for the Rocky Ford Ditch for the shares
attributable to the Subject Rocky Ford Ditch Water Right.
4.1.7. Purchase of Additional Twin Lakes Shares: In 2006,
Aurora purchased additional shares in the Twin Lakes
Reservoir and Canal Company. Auroras expenditures in
this transaction totaled $52,000.00. Twin Lakes reservoir
is an exchange-to facility for the exchanges herein. 4.1.8.
Rocky Ford Ditch check structures: In 2010, check struc-
tures were constructed on the Rocky Ford Ditch to ensure
that the minority shareholders get their water. This was
necessary for the change of use of the Subject Rocky
Ford Ditch shares under Case No. 99CW269(A), said
shares being the source of the exchange water herein.
4.1.9. Intergovernmental Agreement with SECWCD. On
October 3, 2003, Aurora entered into an Intergovernmen-
tal Agreement with the Southeastern Colorado Water
Conservancy District (SECWCD), replacing an agree-
ment between the parties dated December 7, 2001. Under
this new IGA, Aurora and SECWCD agree to support
proposed federal legislation relating to the Fryingpan-
Arkansas Project to include, among other things, re-op-
erations of the existing water storage facilities, studies for
enlargements to Pueblo and Turquoise Reservoirs, and
confrming the authority of the Bureau of Reclamation to
enter into contracts with Aurora for use of the facilities,
including log-term contracts. Auroras ability to use Fry-
ingpan-Arkansas facilities is expanded under this IGAand
Aurora is obligated to make certain payments to SECWCD
in consideration for the expanded use. Under this IGA,
SECWCD also agrees not to oppose Auroras attempts
to contract with the Bureau of Reclamation for use of the
Fryingpan-Arkansas Project facilities, to facilitate delivery
of Auroras water, and to settle opposition to each others
water court applications, including this case. During this
diligence period, Aurora made payments of more
than$5,080,000 to SECWCD under this IGA. 4.1.10.
Agreements for Use of the Holbrook System Facilities.
On March 1, 2005, Aurora entered into two agreements
pertaining to use of unused diversion, conveyance and
storage facilities of the Holbrook Mutual Irrigating Com-
pany (Holbrook). The purpose of these agreements is
to implement a program to recapture and store yield from
foregone diversions of senor water rights envisioned
under an Arkansas River Flow Management Agreement.
This program is called Restoration of Yield (ROY). The
frst agreement is only between Holbrook and Aurora and
provides for Auroras use of unused capacity in the Hol-
brook system. In a subsequent agreement, Aurora assigns
some of its rights and obligations under the frst agreement
to other parties to allow their participation in the ROY
program. Aurora has completed structural modifcations
to the Holbrook system facilities and has fled a Substitute
Water Supply Plan necessary to operate the ROY. Further,
Aurora has initiated a study to look at enlargement of the
Holbrook Reservoir to further facilitate operation of the
ROY. During this diligence period, Aurora made payments
or more than $165,000 to Holbrook under this agreement.

DETAiLED OUTLiNE OF WHAT HAS BEEN DONE
TOWARD COMPLETiON OF THE APPROPRiATiONS
AND APPLiCATiON OF WATER TO ABENEFiCiAL USE
AS CONDiTiONALLY DECREED. During the diligence
period of August 2005 through July 2011, Aurora per-
formed the following work and made the following expen-
ditures toward completion of the appropriations and ap-
plication of the water rights decreed in the Original Decree
to benefcial use (Expenditure numbers are rounded to
the nearest $1000): 4.1. Project Specifc Efforts: Au-
rora has done at least the following project-specifc work
toward completion of the appropriations and application
of the conditional water rights decreed in Case No.
99CW170(B) to benefcial use: 4.1.1. Revegetation: Dur-
ing this diligence period, 99.7% as the percentage of
completion for revegetation of formerly irrigated lands
required under the decree in Case No. 99CW169(A) was
achieved, to allow for operation of the exchanges that are
the subject of this Application and use of the exchanged
water by Aurora. Aurora expended over $1,472,000 during
this diligence period for revegetation, including expendi-
tures for expert revegetation classifcations and reports,
and actual revegetation and weed control costs. 4.1.2.

of bonds and payments to note sellers, including principal
and interest that were issued or refunded for purchase of
Applicants share of the Subject Rocky Ford Ditch Com-
pany shares that are the source of the water for the ex-
changes herein. 4.1.3. Arkansas Gravel Pit Reservoir
(AGPR). Aurora made signifcant efforts to secure the
AGPR that is a necessary facility for some of the ex-
changes that are the subject of this Application. Aurora
entered into a purchase Option Agreement with LaFarge
West, Inc. in 2003 for development of the LaFarge Rich
Pit for use by Aurora as the AGPR storage facility upon
completion of gravel mining/mineral extraction by Le-
Farge. This Agreement was extended several times, in-
cluding the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Option Extension
Agreements executed during this diligence period, on
September 19, 2005, March 10, 2006 and September 8,
2006, respectively. During this diligence period, Aurora
paid $30,100 as consideration for these extensions to be
applied as earnest money for the purchase price of the
completed storage facility. In March 2006, Deere and Ault
also performed a Reservoir Feasibility Study of the Rich
Pit for Aurora, at a cost of $26,000. Aurora has made
efforts to investigate and negotiate alternative storage
facilities for the AGPR. Recent negotiations include with
Stonewall Springs ranch and Southwest Sod Farms.
Aurora has extended more than $12,000 in legal fees with
regard to these option agreement and negotiation efforts.
4.1.4. Payments to Rocky Ford School District R-2: The
payments that Aurora agreed to make under tan Intergov-
ernmental Agreement with Otero County to compensate
for the Countys loss of property taxes and assessments,
include taxes Otero County collects on behalf of the Rocky
Ford School District R-2. Aurora and the School District
entered into a separate Intergovernmental Agreement on
February 7, 2005 under which Aurora agreed to make
accelerated payments to the School District for that portion
of the money due to the School District by Aurora. Aurora
and Otero County amended their Intergovernmental
Agreement to allow that portion of the assessments due
to the School District to be paid directly by Aurora to the
Foundation for Rocky Ford Schools. During this diligence
period, Aurora made payments totaling $1,200,000 to this
Foundation under this agreement. 4.1.5. Development of
Box Creek Reservoir: During this diligence period Aurora
has performed the following work towards development
of Box Creek reservoir: 4.1.5.1. Preliminary design: In
March 2011, Aurora entered into a contract with URS Corp.
for preliminary design of the river diversion and forebay
structures for Box Creek Reservoir. This work is pres-
ently ongoing and expected to be completed in September
2011. Compensation under the contract is not to exceed
$323,061.00. 4.1.5.2. Fens research Project: During this
diligence period, Aurora performed background work for
a mitigation project for fens wetlands that may be im-
pacted by the proposed reservoir project. Aurora spent
over $122,000 for initial study costs by the Colorado
Mountain College. Aurora also obtained a substitute
water supply plan for replacement of depletions associ-
ated with irrigation of the transplanted fens wetlands re-
search project. Aurora spent over $3,900 in engineering
fees for the substitute supply plan. 4.1.5.3. Permitting
Issues and Community Relations: Aurora paid $125,000
for professional services for investigation of permitting
and community relations issues associated with Box
Creek Reservoir. 4.1.5.4. Historic American Building
Survey: Aurora has been working with the Colorado
Mountain College for their performance of an Historic
American Building Survey explaining the cultural re-
sources at the proposed reservoir site. During this dili-
gence period. Aurora paid Colorado Mountain College
$5,000 for this survey. 4.1.6. Application in Case No.
01CW145, D-2: During this diligence period, Aurora
prosecuted its application in Case No. 01CW145, D-2,
seeking appropriative rights of exchange on the Arkansas
River that include Box Creek Reservoir, the Arkansas
River Intake and the Upper River Ditch as exchange point
structures and the Subject Rocky Ford Ditch Water Right
as one of the sources or replacement water. This is dili-
gence work related to the water rights at issue here be-
cause it draws it integrates these structures and the Rocky
Ford replacement source more fully into Auroras intercon-
nected Arkansas Basin water supply network. 4.1.7.
Negotiations with Lake County regarding Box Creek
Reservoir and forbay facilities.: During this diligence pe-
riod, Aurora and Lake County have been negotiating an
intergovernmental agreement under which Lake County
agrees to support the building of Box Creek Reservoir, as
well as a forebay storage facility as a frst phase of Box
Creek reservoir. Lake County support includes that which
is necessary to enable the Box Creek storage facilities to
be realized, including support in water court proceedings,
state administrative proceedings, federal proceedings and
land purchase. 4.1.8. Rocky Ford Ditch check structures:
in 2010, check structures were constructed on the Rocky
Ford Ditch to ensure that the minority shareholders get
their water. This was necessary for the change of use of
the subject Rocky Ford Ditch shares under Case No.
99CW169(A), said shares being the source of the ex-
change water herein. 4.1.9. Agreements for Use of the
Holbrook System Facilities. On March 1, 2005, Aurora
entered into two agreements pertaining to use of unused
diversion, conveyance and storage facilities of the Hol-
brook Mutual Irrigating Company (Holbrook). The pur-
pose of these agreements is to implement a program to
recapture and store yield from foregone diversions of
senior water rights envisioned under an Arkansas River
Flow Management agreement. This program is called
Restoration of Yield (ROY). The frst agreement is only
between Holbrook and Aurora and provides for Auroras
use of unused capacity in the Holbrook system. Ina
subsequent agreement, Aurora assigns some of its rights
and obligations under the frst agreement to other parties
to allow their participation in the ROY program. Aurora
has complete structural modifcations to the Holbrook
system facilities and has fled a Substitute Water Supply
Plan necessary to operate the ROY. Further, Aurora has
initiated a study to look at enlargement of the Holbrook
reservoir to further facilitate operation of the ROY. During
this diligence period, Aurora made payments of more than
$165,000 to Holbrook under this agreement. 4.1.10. Legal
Activities: During the subject diligence period, Aurora
spent $296,000 on legal activities connected to lane use
and revegetation concerning the rights transferred in case
No. 99CW169(A), $18,000 on legal activities connected
to follow-up issues in Case No. 99CW169(A) and
99CW170(B). 4.2. Systemwide Efforts. Pursuant to the
Original decree, these exchanges are part of a unifed
extensive system for the collection, treatment and distribu-
tion of water operated by Aurora. For the purpose of
showing diligence as to completion of the appropriative
right of exchanges originally decreed in Case No.
99CW170(B), diligence as to any part of the Aurora water
rights system used to operate or benefting from these
exchanges shall be diligence as to the completion of the
exchanges. During this diligence period, Aurora has done
at least the following system-wide work that will be used
to operate or beneft the conditional exchanges: 4.2.1
Metro Wastewater Reclamation District Charges: Aurora
expended over $89,846,000 during this diligence period
for charges for wastewater treatment of its water. Such
treatment is necessary for the reuse within the South
Platte River Basin of the water that is the subject of the
exchanges herein. 4.2.2. Sand Creek Water Reuse Plant
Expansion: More than $479,000 was spent for expansion
of the existing Sand Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
This work is necessary for reuse within the South Platte
River Basin of the water that is the subject of the ex-
changes herein and also to comply with water reuse re-
quirements. 4.2.3. Griswold Water Treatment Plant
Renovations. This facility treats a portion of the raw water
exchanged under the Original decree and then trans-
ported to the South Platte Basin and to Aurora, before it
is delivered to Auroras customers. More than $8,377,000
was spent by Aurora during this diligence period for im-
provements to this facility necessary to accommodate the
water that is the subject of the exchanges herein. This
includes expenditures directly by Aurora for renovation of
the facility and for renovation loan payments. 4.2.4 Wem-
linger Water Treatment Plant Expansion. During this dili-
gence period, Aurora spent more than $10,113,000 for

The Otero Junior Col-
lege Foundation Board has
announced the first-ever Rat-
tler Run and Reunion, to be
held in conjunction with La
Juntas Early Settlers Day fes-
tivities on Saturday, Sept. 10,
2011. The event will include a
5K Run, 2-mile Walk and 1-mile
Kids Race. The event is open to
all participants, including OJC
alumni.
According to Almabeth
Kaess, director of marketing
and development at OJC, there
are several goals for the event
that include: raising funds for
Foundation scholarships; bring-
ing the colleges alumni back to
campus to reconnect with the
campus and former classmates;
and promoting health and fit-
ness in the community.
Few events have been held
over the colleges 70-year history
that brought our alumni back to
campus, said Kaess. We are
hoping that the Rattler Run
and Reunion will become an
annual event that will provide a
backdrop for former students to
return to La Junta and get reac-
quainted with the campus and
the people they knew during
their time at OJC, she said.
The 5K Run, 2-mile Walk
and 1-mile Kids Race are
scheduled to begin early on the
morning of Sept. 10, prior to the
start of the Early Settlers Day
parade. The events will have a
staggered start; starting with
the 5K Run at 7:30 a.m., fol-
lowed by the 2-mile Walk at 8
a.m. and the 1-mile Kids Race
at 8:30 a.m. All races will begin
on the west side of the OJC Stu-
dent Center at 2001 San Juan
Ave., in La Junta. Registration
will begin at 6 a.m. in the OJC
Student Center.
The 5K Race and 2-mile
Walk will go south at San Juan
Ave. out of the city limits and
then loop back to finish at the
starting line. The route for the
1-mile Kids Race will lead to the
new Tiger Stadium track and
field and will finish in front of
the grandstand in Tiger Sta-
dium.
Awards will be given to the
top three finishers in all age
and gender divisions for the 5K
Race and the top three boy and
girl finishers in the Kids Race.
Special awards will be
presented to the school with
the most students participat-
ing in the Kids Race, to the top
employer with the most employ-
ees participating and to the top
non-profit or organization with
the most volunteers or members
participating.
At the conclusion of the
races, we are hoping that people
will stay in La Junta and enjoy
the many activities planned for
Early Settlers Day, said Kaess.
All activities surrounding
Early Settlers Day will be held
in the La Junta City Park. The
OJC Foundation will set up an
OJC alumni tent in the City
Park so that former students
can have a place to gather and
visit. There will also be an OJC
Volleyball Tournament going
on at the McDivitt Center gym
throughout the day and a home
soccer match at 5 p.m. at Tiger
Stadium., she said.
Kaess explained that over
the past year the OJC Founda-
tion Board has reorganized and
has set some specific goals.
One of the first programs
the Foundation Board would
like to establish at OJC is a
Presidents Leadership pro-
gram, which we hope to have in
place this coming fall. This pro-
gram would provide scholarship
support to qualifying students
in order to earn a Certificate
in Leadership Studies at OJC,
based on the completion of a pre-
scribed academic plan, service
Rattler Run And Reunion Set For Sept. 10
learning and experiential learn-
ing. One of our goals with the
Rattler Run and Reunion is
to raise some funds to provide
that scholarship support, said
Kaess.
To register for the Rattler
Run, participants can register
on-line by going to: www.ojc.
edu. The homepage of the Otero
Junior College website has a
link to the registration site with
additional information. Pre-
registration fees for the 5K Run
and 2-Mile walk are $20. There
are no pre-registration fees for
the 1-Mile Kids Race. Day-of
registration fees are higher for
all races.

Traffic signals have been
removed at two bridge construc-
tion sites on State Highway 96
between Ordway and Eads.
The detours have been
removed and traffic is back in
its normal configuration about
seven miles west of Arlington
(mile 123.2) and a couple of miles
west of Haswell (mile 141.8). The
signals were alternating traffic
through a one-lane detour that
went around the work zone at
both locations.
Two other signals continue
to alternate eastbound and west-
bound traffic: at Black Draw
(mile 114.5), four miles east of
Sugar City, and at a draw, nine
miles west of Arlington (mile
121.1). Both are functioning 24
hours a day, seven days a week,
and are timed to minimize wait

Detours Removed, Two To Go
times for stopped vehicles.
Since work continues at all
four locations, speed limit is
reduced to 40 mph and over-
width vehicles, wider than 12
feet, must use alternate route.
In addition to new bridge
construction, the Colorado
Department of Transportation
(CDOT) project consists of road
reconstruction at each site,
asphalt paving, erosion control,
seeding, mulching, signing and
striping.
All work is scheduled to be
completed in September 2011.
The $2.9 million project
is funded through the State-
wide Bridge Enterprise, a
government-owned business
entity within CDOT. Created
as part of the FASTER (Fund-
ing Advancements for Surface
Transportation and Economic
Recovery) legislation, its goal is
to finance, repair, reconstruct or
replace any bridge designated
as structurally deficient or
functionally obsolete, and rated
poor by CDOT. Additional

fic impacts on this or other
CDOT projects is available at
