Looking south across the U.S. Highway 160 interchange on Friday, major excavation is underway south of the Grandview Bridge. About 34 more feet of rock and dirt must be removed to create the connection with the new U.S. Highway 550 alignment. This summer, a portion of the retaining wall will come down, and the bridge’s new connection will begin to take shape. (Jerry McBride/Durango Herald)
