"Building our highway" - caption from Edwards School Scrapbook, page 16. The scrapbook was completed as a youth citizens' league project between 1954-1955.
This could be construction of Highway 6, the first major byway to cross Eagle County. A large excavator with one man in control awaits more digging, two other men with shovels are digging by hand. A horse team is visible at right, center, with a wagon behind them. The excavator is resting on a platform of some kind to avoid sinking in the deep mud and snow.
