Look at that road!

There’s nothing quite like a freshly graded road! Our Montezuma County Road & Bridge crews have been out getting roads smoothed, shaped, and ready for traffic.

A freshly graded road means a smoother ride for everyone- but it takes some hard work and heavy equipment to get it looking this good.

A big thank you to our Road & Bridge crew for the work they do to keep Montezuma County’s roads in shape!

If you see a crew out working, please slow down, give them plenty of room, and help keep everyone safe.
