i’o Gravel No. 11
South from Butte
Maintenance graveling of Ne
braska highway 11 from Butte
south 14 miles is among the pro
jects to be included in an April
letting, according to an announce
ment Wednesday from the state
highway department.
About 2,200 cubic yards of
gravel are to be placed on the
highway.
Bids for bituminous surfacing
the 11 Vi miles of newly relocated
and constructed highway 20,
east of Chadron, also will be tak
en at a letting April 5. This work
will begin at Spruce street in
Chadron and continue east on
highway 20 to Bordeaux, near
the Dawes - Sheridan county
line. Within the city limits of
Chadron, the highway will be
surfaced to a 34-foot witdth ex
tending to the existing curbs and
gutters. The rural surfacing will
be 24 feet wide. A crushed lime
rock base course from 3 to 5 in
ches thick will be laid crown first,
followed by a 3-inch thick bi
tumious mat and an armor coat
ing.
The grading, culverts and
bridges on this relocation of No.
20 was completed in 1950.
While the highway is being
surfaced, traffic will go north out
.of Chadron, east 2V£ miles, south
a mile and then proceed along
the old highway route, north of
Bordeaux Creek. The work ad
vertised for bidding includes the
graveling of the road connecting
with the old highway.
The surfacing of the highway
will require more than 419 thou
sand gallons of asphaltic oil and
about 54 thousand cubic yards of
limerock, sand and gravel, ac
cording to highway department
estimates.
