Jacen Nash with Western Milling helps operate a milling machine Thursday at Riverview Drive and the Florida Road roundabout. A 1.6-mile section of Florida Road in northeast Durango is being repaved.

Drivers wait in traffic Thursday during construction on Florida Road in northeast Durango. The mill and overlay project is the first resurfacing of the 1.6-mile section of road since its reconstruction in 2007. The project is expected to cost $730,000 and is being paid for by a half-cent sales tax voters approved in 2009. (Jerry McBride/Durango Herald)
