the best solution to the traffic
needs of the area"
However, the engineers said a
comparison of benefits from this
rural line and from a route
through Richmond and Peters,
burg raises serious doubt as to
the wisdom of constructing the
rural facility"
Proposed Routes.
The proposed city route would
generally parallel present United
States between Richmond and
Petersburg joining United States
/ and 301 north of Richmond
and United States /. 301 and 460
in the Petersburg area.
The rural line most favored
would connect United States 1
and 301 north of Richmond and
United States 46O, 301 and l
south of Petersburg. This route,
40.7 miles long, would cost an
estimated $51, $4,000.
In their report, the engineers
noted the city route can be built
by a public agency only by elm
ination of the existing corporate
restriction Of the Turnpike Act
or by creating separate author
ity. The report said "if no legis-
lative action is TAKEN" then the
rural line should be constructed
