This will link with the present road at the South Carolina line. The project is a cooperative measure between the National Forest Service and the State Highway Commission. The new road will be right at the falls, and is expected to become one of the major scenic attractions in this area. The falls are among the high est in the East, and the ter rain around them attracts thousands of visitors a year. For many years, Transyl vanians have joined with neighbors in South Carolina in an effort to get this road built. It has also been a pri mary goal of Congressman Roy A. Taylor. Each year, attention has been focused on the need for such a road at the annual Whitewater picnic, sponsored by civic groups in upper Tran sylvania county and Salem, S. C. The South Carolina High way department has paved the road on that side of the falls, and local citizens are anxious ly awaiting the day when the highway on the North Caro lina side will be relocated and hardsurfaced. W. Curtis Russ, of Waynes ville, the highway commission er for this area, said shortly - after his appointment that he would do everything possible to get the road paved on the North Carolina side, and he will present the project to the commission for final approval * at the June meeting in Ashe ville.
