HIGHWAY NO. 28, AS SEEN BY CHARLOTTE OBSERVER State Highway No. ziS v;h:'ch starts at Chimwy Rock and ? un to Henderson ville, thence to Bre vard. from which place it hen?fc. out through the lower borders of son. Macon. and Clay Count ie-- i'-ito Murphy. almost. infringing' on Geor gia territory from Shootin<r Creek to Hayesville, js going to be known, bt> fore another Summer passes, as om of the t cully "Scenic" high" ays (.f An..;.-rioa. It is being hard-.-urfacid out of Hender>o'ivil!i- for a distance of s iniles. when it takes on ; he black top to Transylvania town of Rosman. oji the trail of the Fivnv'r Broad, ami from Rosman to Tdxa way the grading has been completed this highway appears to be a little more than standard width, but 'hi is probably bi cause of the treruend ous "cuts'*- through which i: pass up- and around the. mountains. It was a heavy job in excavation almost even* mile of the wav. The sides of : the mountain^ ere shaved down itr ? places from distances the height of two poplar trees one below the other. Two concrete bridges are yet to span the tracks of the railroad that runs from Hendersonville to Toxaway, and these bridges will be remarkable more for height than span. From Toxaway through Cashiers Valley to Franklin and Hayesville is yet a large contract in grading and sur- j facing, and until that work is finish ed. travel over it will prove rather a jolt to those who want luxury. When the highway No. 2N is finally ac copied by the State nr. a completed job, it will come into popularity with tourist travel, for it wi'l open to the world a part of the State which is yet unknown to the people. Up that way is is a section of wild gran duer for a fact. Charlotte Observer.
