Kerston kept Shenandoah well in check. He part of the work have knocked loose the curb for several miles between Plattsmouth and Mur ray, and also are working on a bridse south of Murray. The resurfacing from Murray north to Plattsmouth will also be extended two feet on each sicle of le present highway, From Murray to Union the pres- ent highway will be resurfaced only. The existing concrete high way is 20 feet wide. Trenches 2'j feet wide and a foot deep will be dug on each side of the uavement and a 6-inch laver of crushed rock will be laid and compacted in the trenches. Over the crushed rock will be laid three successive layers, each two inches thick, of hot-mixed ash phaltic concrete. After the wid ening is completed, the center 24 feet will be covered with a three inch thickness of ashphal tic concrete. The widening is slated from Murray north. An inch and a half of asphal tic concrete will be laid over the existing 20-foot width of high way between Murray and Union. But before the resurfacing, more than two thousand sauare yard of concrete will be laid to re- place sections which have fail ed under heavy traffic. Several culverts will also be built to improve drainage facilities. The highway will be open for traffic throughout the work as widening will be on only one side of the road at a time. When widening is completed, half th? width of the highway will be resurfaced at a time. As a result one-way traffic will . be available at all times. And with only one-way traffic in force on many stretches of the road, driving dangers are increased. Therefore CasSCOunty law en forcement officers are urging caution when driving on the highway.
