Some road projects cruising, others in ditch
Tonto Creek bridge, Pine Creek Canyon hit troubled waters, but smooth sailing for Control Road bridges
Construction of new bridges in northern Gila County wrapped up last week on schedule and under budget. The project is one of a handful of roadway improvements in the county cruising forward. A bridge in Tonto Basin is the only one that appears years off course. Officials say they can’t pin down funding for the $20 million Tonto Basin bridge that would link east and west Tonto Creek residents and end decades of sometimes tragic swift water rescues. While design work is nearing completion, several attempts at securing funding have failed. Most recently, the U.S. Department of Transportation rejected a grant application.
