A town in New Jersey, neighboring my own town, is named Glen Rock, after the rock in the town center.

Obviously from the picture, the money has to be spent to repair the road whether they remove the rock or go around it. It’s not an either/or.

It would have cost the Colorado Department of Transportation $200,000 to blow up the boulder with dynamite and haul it away, but instead the department will rebuild Highway 145 to wind around the giant rock

Seems like it would cost $200,000 + to reroute the road?

Sometimes Nature puts an object in the road; and at other times, men do.
