Upcoming Projects
Pioneer Road
Grant funds will be used on 4.6 miles of Pioneer Road. Pioneer Road is an arterial road that runs south from Slater Road to Hellbaum Road in southern Platte County. Pioneer Road, in previous years, was used by local farms and ranches. Within the last year traffic has increased dramatically and is expected to be the primary road for two gravel pits, several oil and gas sites and three wind generating companies. Pioneer Road is expected to be the hardest hit of any Platte County road.
