Spur Ranch road grading

Spur Ranch Road will be watered, graded and rolled starting Monday or Tuesday (9 or 10 May) from US 285 to the Railroad Tracks.  This process will remove most of the current ‘wash boarding’ for a period of time.  Without paving the road there is, however, no process that will remove the wash boarding permanently. Low humidity/dry weather increases the speed at which wash boarding returns. Please continue to drive the posted speed limit and encourage visitors and guests to do the same – heavy vehicles driving at excessive speeds on the road speed up the development of wash boarding.

 

Please drive slowly and carefully during this grading operation – the grader and roller operator can’t always see you and the grader itself weighs in at some 13 tons.
