Dual Lane Set
For Highw'y 70;
Route In Doubt
The State Highway Commis. ion
| has decided to dual lane the 8‘j
I mile stretch of US 70 between Eno
River and gno substation in Orange
County. Itwoirld be limited access
and built to interstate highway
i standards. *
1 The question of location of the
! new lane wa> left to the comple
"TRilT~rt> new surveys being .nude.
I "to find thc most suitable location
, for the interstate route."
I A study committee, whoke m
ommendations were adopted by the
'commission, said that building an
additional lane on the present lo
cation without requiring limited
I access would cost $1,152,000. The
, state's, portion of the cost, sharing
| equally with the federal govern
nit nt, would be $576,000. "
! However pointed out the com
i niittee, if. the road is built to in
l terstate standards, thc . late will
pay. only 10 per cent of the costs
under the new federal road pro
gram enacted this week.
Thus, although a new limited
access dual-lane on the present lo
cation would cost $2,627,000, the
co t to the state would be only
$262,700, or about half what it’
would Cost to build a non-limited
