NATURE’S NOOK Just in time for tihe fall pleas ure travel is ^tlhe beautiful and spectacular new ‘Pigeon River Road in Haywood CO'Unty of Wesitern North Caroilina just west of Asheville. The road, which is a part of Interstate 40 a-nd wHi stretch twefflty - one miles, will oipeii Oct, 24. Practioally the entire length was oarved out lof moun tainsides. With ten years of work and something like a hundred mil lion wheelbarrow loads of earth and siione, the cost will be $33,- 000,000 or $1,600,00 a mile. The new roiad is unique in that ilt will have a mediiao bar rier of concrete 30 to 3*6 incihes high whiich will naake head-on eollisions nearly impossible. The barrier will sitretcih the en tire distance except for occas ional ‘orossovers. Following the Pigeon River, fills, up to 320 feet high, had to be miade, for there lare no valleyis that would facilitate -construction. The North Ciarolana state leg islature is ihoping to construct a visitor center do the area. Sucih a center would cost sev eral miillion dollars and re quire 2,000,000 cubic yards of eartih and atone. To prevent slides, terraces have been con- struiclteid up the face of the mountains above tihe highway. Near the Tennessee line, two tunnels have been bored ihrouigli the solid rock of the eastern Great Smokies. At one point, there is a tunnel for the sourthibound and a cut for the northbound. Interstate 40 is intended to run from Greensboro to Bar- stow, Caliifornia. Certainly this section will be one of the most scenic. The new Pigeon River Road is located about IV2, hours from the Brevard campus, west of Asheville near Maggie Valley. When You Are Out To Beat The World .
