Rebuilding Highway Cuts
Of 3O.7 Miles Trunk Lines
Rail Crossings and Sharp Turns
Eliminated I'm 1929 Grading
Program

Minnesota's trunk highway sys-
tenn will be reduced 3O.7 miles as a
result of grading projects that have
been placed under contract or adj
vertised for letting this spring, &C
cording to figures given out by C.
M. Babcock, commissioner Of high
ways.
This shortening of the highways
will mean saving of more than
100000 a year to Minnesota mo-
florists, figuring the average traffic
on trunk highways at 1000 cars
day and the average cost per mile
of motor vehicle operation at 6
cents a mile, which is low esti-
mate. This saving alone will pay
for the grading in five years, to say
nothing of the saving through i'm
proved roadways.
Nineteen grading projects were
either let in May or advertised for
letting June rs. This work, COW
ering total of 249.4 miles, will
replace 280.1 miles of roads which
were used as temporary trunks. On
only one project in the list the new
road follows the old road the en-
tire way and no reduction in dis
lance is effected.
Safety of travellers has also been
given consideration in the highway
relocation plans, and in the 249
miles of construction twenty rail-
road grade crossings are eliminate
ed. Fifty seven sharp and danger
GUS turns are also removed, this
figure in Guiding only square turns
and not counting many curves in
the old roads which do not provide
the sight distance required by
present highway standards.
