BIG SUNDAY TRAVEL
ON NEW CONCRETE HIGHWAY

Il
II Sundays automobile traffic over the
concrete turnpike between New London
and Hartford Is any criterion, and it is
considered as such, then the highway
Is going to be the most used highway
in Eastern Connecticut this summer.
Automobiles during a period of three
hours Sunday afternoon passed over the
highway at an average rate of per
minute. Keeping up this rate for 10
hours It would mean that 1000 cars
passed during that. period.
A man residing along this highway
counted 500 automobiles New London
bound Sunday afternoon-between 2 and
5 D. m. and during the same time count
ed 700 Hartford bound.
Cars were noticed on the highway
bearing plates marked Pittsfeld. Mass,
Holyoke, Mass, and Springfield and 9TH
er places faF~distant.
Considering the fact that the season
is barely opened yet, and the highway
has not been entirely completed, it is a
remarkable number to find on the new
highway at this time.
In the town of Salem the last of the
concrete has been laid, but automo-
bilests were not allowed to travel on but
one side of the highway because of the
fresh concrete on the opposite side.
In the north part OF the town of Marl-
boro the contractors have nearly finish
ed laying concrete, on one side, and au-
tomobiles had to travel over part dirt
and part new laid concrete with an edge
on it varying from six inches to a foot
in height. This being laid on curves
and Of one half the normal width of the
highway called for some careful driv-
ing If one was to stay on the roadway.
Two weeks hence the concrete Will
all be laid and hard enough to permit
travel, but caution is still advised until
all the shoulders are constructed and
the fences erected.
