The McKinley County Roads Department is wrapping up another successful road improvement project in Pinedale this week. Over the past two months, county crews have resurfaced approximately four miles of Rainbow Trail and Lobo Valley Roads near the Chapter House. This week, they completed the project by applying the final layer of asphalt and chip seal, improving both the safety and longevity of these important community roads.
