sALIDA aUNNlsoN HIGHWAY.
Road Over Cochetopa Pass to Open
New State Highway.

Denyer.-COnStructio work on the
new link in the Salida- Gunnison high
way leading over Cochetopa Pass is
nearing completion, reports the road
engineer of the forest service upon his
return to Denver headquarters. The
road crew at work on a strip eight and
a half miles in length over the pass
is making excellent progress, and with
favorable weather conditions should
finish the road before winter sets in.
This new link, covering a distance Of
sixteen miles, is cooperative pro-
ject between Saguache county and the
forest service, each party sharing
equally the cost OF construction. Work
was begun last year, at which time
three miles was put through, outside
of the boundary Of the Cochetopa for
est by the county commissioners, and
four and a half miles was built inside
the forest under the supervision Of the
forest officers.
According to the road engineer, this
strip is double track roadbed and fol-
lows a natural water grade. on a
southern exposure. through the forest.
thus eliminating any need for largo
bridges. The average maximum grade
Is but six per cent, OF which there Is
not more than three miles in the ag-
gregate. the remaining portion of the
road consisting OF easy grades. BY
reason Of the low elevation. absence Of
steep grades, and the open country
through which it passes, it is expected
that the Cochetopa Pass road will
form one of the best and most trav-
eled state highways across the conti-
mental divide.
