Busiest Season Is
Expected On Ocean
Hiway This Winter
Than 200 Miles of
Route Has Been
Widened
With more thnn 200 miles of its
route widened and resurfaced, and 20
new and modern bridges constructed
since the winter of 1953, the Ocean
Hiway route is prepared for and is ex
pecting this winter its busiest season
of Florida hound motorists.
Highlighting the Improvement on'
the Ocean Hiway route since last sea- i
son is Georgia’s highway moderniza
tion program of U. S. 17, especially
noticeable and especially welcome be
cause it has been so hndly needed in !
recent years. Georgia’s program of
highway widening, straightening, add
ing of shoulders resurfacing and con
struction of modern bridges has been
going on constantly for more than a
year. Now, this winter, motorists
headed for Florida via the Ocean Hi
way will be pleased not only by the
great improvement but impressed by
the continuing program.
Other states also have contributed
substantially since last, winter to the
over-all improvement of the Ocean Hi
way route. In both Delaware and
Maryland the dualization program of
IT. S. 13 has been extended several
miles, and work is continuing with
out any interruption to traffic. In
Delaware approximately 35 miles of
U. S. 13 were improved greatly, in
Maryland more than 10 miles, and in 1
Virginia approximately 33 miles of
U. S. 13 and U. S. 17 have been im
proved since last winter. North Caro
lina has made an outstanding contri
bution toward safer and more enjoy
able motoring by widening and resur- 1
facing more than 35 miles of U. S. 1
17. In South Carolina, 32 miles of
U. S. 17 were widened and resur
faced.
Approximately 60 miles of U. S. 17
in Georgia reflect that state’s highway
modernization program.
The popular Ocean Hiway route,
which follows the historic and pic-'
turesque coast for 1,015 miles between'
New' York and Jacksonville, is adver- •
tised as the fastest and safest route j
from northern pines to southern palms.
From New York City, using the New
Jer^fc turnpike, or U. S. 130, motor-]
the great Delaware Me
morial Bridge near Wilmington, and (
follow U. S. 13 southward down the
DelMarVa peninsula to the Kiptopeke
Beach. Va. ferry terminal. Then, af
ter the restful and enjoyable transport
ferry crossing of Chesapeake Bay,
from Kiptopeke Reach to Little Creek.;
Va., U. S. 13 is followed to the inter-]
section with U. S. 17 just south of
Norfolk. There the official Ocean Hi
way route takes a left turn and fol
lows the main route of U. S. 17 down
the coast all the way to Jacksonville,
Fla.
