Milling underway on F Road

Milling started on the evening of Sept. 10 on the center lane of F Road, running from Helena St. to 31 Road on the Patterson/F Road Overlay 2023 project.

The project is a collaboration between Mesa County and the City of Grand Junction to improve the eastern section of Patterson (within the City of Grand Junction) and F Road (in Mesa County).

The road improvements will span from the I-70 Business Loop, starting near the KFC on the east side and extending westward to the western property line of the old Rite Aid (now Lucky Me Liquor 3) at 30 Road.  

The project involves fully milling the road's surface and replacing it with a 2-inch layer. Additionally, it will include adjustments to utility holes, water valves, and survey monument boxes. Most of the work will be done at night to minimize disruption to motorists.

This five-lane road is one of the most heavily used roads in Mesa County.
