Looking for Everetts

"We are looking for our ancestors.  Everett, and Chidester.   The Everetts, settled there about  1860.  John Everett came there from England  around 1860 and bought a farm.  He had a son named Cluadius who had a son named Edward, who had a son named Austin. Any way  if you could help us find some of our family  it would be great to meet as many as we could.  Thank you,  I look forward to your reply. Ken Everett,  in Montana." Please reach Ken at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you have any information that may help him!

Highway 63 UPDATE

The first phase of the project from I-80 to Church road was completed in 2017. This opened Church road east-west and connected it to I80.

Last year, 2018, was supposed to be culverts, grading and paving from South of Church road to Alvo.
The weather put the culvert work, grading work and utility relocation work behind schedule. By the time we had the subgrade stabilized and embankments constructed it was too cold to pave.

We will go to work on subgrade reconstruction and foundation placement once the frost is out of the ground and we get some drying weather. 
Paving should go fast and we hope to be paved out by July.

I know it is frustrating but grading work is very susceptible to delays with wet weather and last year had a lot of rain.

It is with the hope that we can open in July.
Please encourage anyone interested to call the district office for updates.

402-471-0850.

Our project manager is Jesse DeLosSantos.
Our Construction Engineer is Curt Mueting.
