the mountains which is a State
Aid road is an excellent example
of a high type of mountain high
way construction. Leading out
of Corbin in Laurel county is en-
countered six miles of macada-
mized abandoned railroad grade.
This county has about two miles
of light construction now under
way to bring the new road to
London. To complete this work
$25, 600. 90 in warrants have been
voted. Leading out of London
is another mile of surfaced rail-
road grade lacking about two
miles to connect up with seven
miles of new grade extending to
the Rockcastle river. Part of
the warrants will be used in fin
ishing the light grading on this
stretch. 1t is planned to take
care of the surfacing of the seven
miles out of the 100000. 90 now
being raised. Fording or ferry
ing the Rockcastle river at this
point the barrier of four and a
half miles to Livingston for
which the fund is being raised is
encountered. It is now necessary
to travel the mountain trail over
Gauley mountain, for a distance
of five miles. The new road,
however, will follow the Rock
castle river avoiding both the
Gauley and Wild Cat mountain
crossings. Part of the grading
has been completed between
Livingston and Mount Vernon.
Contract is to be awarded this
week to complete the grading
and all of the surfacing on this
stretch. All but a mile of the
grading between Mount Vernon
and the Madison county line has
been completed. This mile is of
easy construction. M olson
county will award the contract
for the grading and surfacing of
three miles and a half over Scat
fold Cane Hill from the Rock
castle line to Berea at a meeting
of the Fiscal Court Tuesday. |
From Berea to Cincinnati, a
or gravel road of ex-
cellent construction is provided
into Cincinnati.
