[Mile-marker 2]
Just beyond the stoplight we cross a bridge over the Redlands Power
Canal which carries 675 cubic feet per second (cfs, or ft³s⁻¹)[35] from
the Redlands Diversion Dam on the Gunnison River about 2½ miles south of
Grand Junction. A quarter of a mile northwest of the bridge, most of the
water falls to a lower powerplant that generates electricity for pumping
the remaining 50 cfs to three lift canals, which are used mainly for
irrigating peach orchards in the eastern part of The Redlands.
