Quemado Road Project
It has been about 15 years since the roads in Quemado have been redone. A three person county road crew from the Quemado Maintenance Yard and County Commissioner, Allen Lambert spend about 10 days doing the prep work and getting the roads ready to be chip sealed. The project covers the 2.1 miles of paved streets in Quemado. Bids to do the chip seal work were advertized with an October 12 closing date. The last portion of the project will be to fog seal the surface. The fog seal is an emulsion spray that penetrates the chip seal to allow the road to wear longer. The funding for the project came from a portion of monies in the Secure Rural School Act that were for county road maintenance. “There are 950 miles of dirt roads and 2.1 miles of paved county roads in inventory” said Catron County Manager Bill Aymar. The estimated cost of the work is about $150,000. “This is a very cheap cost because the county did the prep work” remarked Mr. Lambert, commissioner for the Quemado area. He also hopes that the work would be completed before October 25 if all goes well.
