The route between Indianapolis
and Brookville was improved for
motorists this week by eliminating
detours. Thursday, on U. S. Rd. 50,
in the vicinity of Andersonville. New
pavement has bee complied.
BY opening this pavement In
dianapolis to Cincinnati traffic will
now best be served by using paved
SO to some four miles southeast of
Rushville, then over good nine-mile
detour to Andersonville. The old
road is maintained thence to Brook
vile and traffic uses the same de-
tour in service all spring and sum-
mer since construction began on
this highway. The new pavement
cuts the former detour eight miles,
permits routing over new and bet
ter one and eliminates sending
through traffic to Cincinnati by
way of Connersville.
