Almota Road closes for reconstruction project

COLFAX — A portion of Almota Road closed Tuesday, May 30, to start the new Public Works Reconstruction Project.

“It was an old tired, narrowed road. We applied for funding, and now we have funding,” said Public Works Director Mark Storey. “Now it will be a wider and safer road with no restrictions. It was one of those roads we had to close down every winter and spring.”

Almota Road will close between Klaus Rd and Upper Rd; this portion will remain closed until July.

“They basically have to tear up the road,” Storey said.

The road will remain closed to incoming traffic but open for residents.
