Curry County

The Curry County Road Department has scheduled chip seal for Curry Road D from Curry Road 11.5 to Curry Road 14. The road won’t be closed but officials are asking motorists for minimal use during the hours listed:

Wednesday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. - first layer of chip seal.

Thursday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. - second layer of chip seal.

Residents are encouraged to schedule activities to minimize use of these roads for 3-4 hours after the oil is applied. Driving on fresh oil not only damages the road, but makes a mess of your vehicle.

Questions or concerns may be addressed to the Steve Reed at (575) 762-1501.
