Area streets named in county chip seal program

The notice of proceed was given to Wulfenstein Construction this week to begin the annual Pahrump chip and fog seal program, which means work will begin within 10 days.

County commissioners May 6 awarded a contract to Wulfenstein Construction, the lowest of three bidders, with a quote of $628,308. The 2014 chip seal program will target 15.4 miles of road.
