This road is a major farm to market and Lower Granite Dam Access gravel road. Commercial/Industrial traffic accessing the dam as increased significantly in the last 10 years and this road will provide for a much improved access to the dam during winter months. It will also encourage more federal employees to live in Pomeroy because of the improved access. This project is the completion of the 3 phase of out of the 4 phases planned. Phase I was completed in 2002, phase 2 was completed in 2005. The travel time from Pomeroy to the this part of the county has been decreased by more than 15 minutes. Once phase 4 is complete, travel time to the Dam will have been reduced by more than 20 minutes.
The existing road consisted of a weak gravel structure and gravel surface with steep slopes and no safety devices.
This is the completion of phase 3 of 4 phases of a long standing improvement corridor that has been on the books since the 1990's. Once phase 4 is complete it will help to link up a mostly all weather roadway system serving the Port of Central Ferry/SR 127 and Pomeroy. This corridor also remains open consistently in the winter months when other roadways accessing this part of the county and Lower Granite Dam are closed and snow-drifted in. The public is very pleased with the project as it significantly improves access to the Dam and farm to market traffic.
