Grover-Lyman Link 01 Highway 29 Scheduled For Completion in 1954 Work on the, now segment of Highway 29 from the state bor der ' at ? Grover to Lyman, S. C.. is proceeding well" and the new 44-mjle link is due for completion in 1954. according to a feature story in last Sunday's Greenville, IS. C. News. Safety and pleasure will he the twin keynotes of driving over the now. straight two-lane strip, ac cording to the Greenville report er. His account of the project fol lows: "A partly completed relocation of Highway 29 from Lyman to tin North Carolina line is its own best argument for the $6,000,000 cost. "If pleasurable and safe travel can bo measured in dollars and cents, every motorist who travels between Greenville and Charlotte will be getting his money's worth when the 44-mile link is completed next year. ."The new highway, at present a single lane but someday to be a dual-lane sure - highway, elimi nates most of the hazards com mon, to old Highway 29. "It traverses no major metro politan center, eliminating such bottlenecks as Spartanburg, Cow pens, Gaffney, Blacksburg and several industrial communities. "Old Highway 29 had 82 curves, many'of them dangerous at even moderate speeds. The new road way has only 26 and all of. them have excellent visibility. "Dangerous intersections, fre quent and nerve wracking on the old highway, are all but eliminat ed by the relocation with one-way intersections, traffic circles, un derpasses or overpasses. "At present, the new highway is completed only to the CC and O Railroad near Highway 221 just out of Spartanburg. Certain gaps remain to be filled between there and a point near Gaffney. to which through travel will be pos sible around Sept. 1. according to District Highway Engineer F. E. Armstrong, who is in general charge of the project. "Sometime next year, the lar gest river span across the Broad River, a 670-foot reinforced con crete and structural steel bridge, will he completed and traffic can begin to move along the entire length from Lyman to Grover. where the new highway connects with a similar thoroughfare into Black Mountain and on to Char lotte. "Most of the 13 bridges, includ ing grade separation crossings, underpasses and overpasses, are completed. The roadway is 24 feet with 10- foot shoulders, but the State Highway Department owns rights-of-way sufficient for addi tion of another lane in the future. "A trip along the completed portion of the new roadway may surprise the motorist accustomed to pamming his foot through the floorboard on open stretches to make up for time- lost in cities dragging along behind slow traf-. | fic at hills and curves. "At a smooth and unhurried 55 miles an hour, fir less depending on lawful limits at certain points, one can cut many valuable min utes off the trip without endan gering lives or property. "BeCaXise through traffic is sel dom slowed for right angle in tersections, railroads or metro politan center traffic jumbles, the motorist can make excellent time at moderate speeds. "The new route's 44 miles ac tually is about 10 per cent. shorter than the old road. It is virtually a straight shot from Lyman to Gro ver. just north of the present Highway 29. It goes through no major town, city or community, although it comes close enough to Spartanburg. Cowpens, Blacks burg and other old highway 29 centers to serve them equally as well. "Something of the expensive : problems involved in relocating i major highways can be found in ; this list of bridges along the 44- j mile route; most of them structu ral steel and reinforced concrete: "At- North Tyger River. 150 feet;.
