FOREST ROAD CREW j
SURVEYING ON 284!
Highway engineers under thej
supervision of B. S. Marsh began
actual surveying of Highway 284 at
Wagon Road Gap on tpp of Pisgah
last week. Work will be pushed along
as rapidly as possible, Mr. Marsh
said, with the survey being made to
wards Waynesviile.
Last winter Mr. Marsh and his
crew surveyed the road from Wagon
road Gap to Brevard, a distance of
13 miles. The new location does not
follow the old road, but turns off on
Pisgah and goes to the head of Look
ing Glass Creek and follows that
gorge down to Davidson River.
! Mr. Marsh stated that when the
new road is built it will afford one
of the most scenic eights in Western
North Carolina. The road, he says,
surpasses the beauty of the Soco Gap
road.
Within sight of the road for about
ten miles there are countless water
falls, rapids and pools, he continued.
The road from Waynesville to the
top of the mountain which is the
Haywood-Transylvania line is about
25 miles. The entire route 284 is now
under the federal system and it is
because of that change that a prompt
survey has been ordered.
The raad from Wagon Road Gap
to Brevard is ready to be let to the
contractors now. It is cacpected that
the surveying of the route in Hay
wood county will consume approxi
mately five or six months. Present
plans are to re-located the road from
Wagon Road Gap to Waynesville.—
