THE NEW I
7-ISLAND ROAD
CHANGES MADE IN THE ORI
GINAL ROUTE PLANNED
WORK IS PROGRESSING
RAPIDLY ON THE PROJECT.
The route of the new Seven
Island road now being constructed
by W. P. A. and the State high
way commission, has been chan- j
ged from the first plans. The j
road instead of beginning near i
i
the Old Inn and the Danbury ;
Reporter officce which was
the route first considered —will
start at a point near the Bap
tist church in the west end of
Danbury on highway No. 89,
and will follow practically the
old road leading to Seven Island
bridge, but grades are being
cut down and curves eliminated.
After crossing the Seven Island
bridge the route will lead to the
right instead of the left, and
will traverse that section of
Peter's Creek township near the
Robert Mabe old place and Noel
Oakley's and Reely Stevens'. It
will intersect with the Hartman-
Jewell road near where the
present road leads out.
Reid Jones is the superinten
dent of this project. Some very
modern road building machinery
is being used, while about 40
hands are engaged. The work is
proceeding rapidly, and the
forces should reach the bridge
in a few days.
