Comstock Mining Completes State Route Realignment Ahead of Schedule

Comstock Mining Inc. (NYSEMKT:LODE) announced that the realignment of State Route 342 (SR 342) was completed earlier this week. SR 342 passed all relevant Nevada Department of Transportation inspections and has been reopened for public use.
As quoted in the press release:

The completion of the SR 342 realignment, including the already completed capping of the historic Silver Hills Mine shaft, provides a better route from Carson City to Virginia City and also provides a safer and more efficient passage for ongoing mining operations.  The Company also achieved significant environmental and reclamation objectives and completed the project under the original $3 million budget.

The SR 342 realignment and historic environmental remediation has been completed in collaboration with the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers (USACE), the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
These improvements will enhance the quality of life on the Comstock and reduce costs to the state and local municipalities, and thus, taxpayers.

Comstock Mining President and CEO, Corrado De Gasperis,, stated:

Genuine, fundamental sustainability is philosophically embedded in our ‘Comstock Responsible’ culture that helped enable the complex network of regulatory cooperation and true public-private partnerships.  These alliances made completing the road ahead of schedule and under budget possible.  These sustaining improvements in the quality of life on the Comstock, could not have been possible without the communities in both Storey and Lyon Counties, the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Corrective Actions; the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; the Nevada Dept. of Transportation; the State Historic Preservation Office; McGinley & Associates; Debra Lemke; RCI; the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, and the Comstock Mining team who, all together, made this unprecedented achievement possible.
