Those living in Mesa del Caballo will soon have a smoother road to take through their neighborhood.
At its April 6 meeting, the Gila County Board of Supervisors awarded a $436,646 bid to Valor Specialties, Inc., for a paving project in the community.
The project is a continuation of two previous projects to improve the roads in the community northeast of Payson, according to Steve Sanders, director of the countyâs public works department.
Work includes the removal of all of existing asphalt and base materials and replaces it on Mescalero Road and most of Caballero Road.
Caballero Road is the main entrance to Mesa del Caballo. The road reconstruction project will effectively improve Caballero and Mescalero roads, which are in poor condition.
