Sunday, June 3: Delta railroad construction complete

Video interview with Delta Assistant City Manager Steve Glammeyer about the importance of a alternate truck route to the city.

The railroad realignment project in Delta completed last week, with minor clean-up and cosmetic tasks remaining. In combination with the railroad realignment in Delta, 11 other railroad crossings have been repaired to eliminate car-train conflict points as far as Paonia. With phase one of the project completed, the city is gearing up for the planning and implementation of its second phase: the alternate truck route.

The city's plan for the bypass is to keep large trucks and unintentional traffic off Main Street, creating a safer environment for citizens of Delta and those who choose to visit the downtown area.

In addition to the increase of safety the bypass will provide for Main Street, it will also create a swifter route from north Delta to south Delta. This is one of the biggest issues behind the proposed construction.
