New County Road
Shaping Up Fast
Concrete work on the new high-
way from Iredell to Walnut Springs
is nearing completion; the final
spans on the bridge across the ICast
Bosque River should be in place by
the end of this week. The grading
is complete, except for a few fills
along the new bridges, and ready
for the rock base. Fred Hall has
the contract for this road job; J.
P. Atkinson is supervising the
work for Mr. Hall.
The rock crusher had been set
j in place on top of a hill near Wal-
^3 ] nut Springs and blasting was al-
ready underway early this week
to provide the rock for the crusher;
truck crews were standing by to
start hauling the crushed rock. The
rock base is to be in place within
40 working days.
Junction of the Meridian to Wal-
nut Springs and Iredell to tyMnut
Springs h i g h w a ys - at Walnut
Springs and the new bridge across
the creek near the park there are
nearing Completion. This work is
a decided improvement for the
traffic moving into and through
Walnut Springs.
The now highway between Ire-
dell and Walnut Springs should be
topped and completed before fall.
Resident Engineer T. H. Ralph
and his staff also have placed the
preliminary stakes in thefr survey
of the new highway between Meri-
dian and Walnut Springs. This will
follow primarily the old highway,
but all sharp corners, and there
are many on this section of road,
will be eliminated and the road
widened. This road will likely be
built in 1956.
The resident engineer’s office is
also putting the final touches on
the plans for the farm-to-market
roads through the Harmony com-
munity; and on the east side of the
Bosque River between Clifton and
Meridign; these plans will probably
be ready for bids in August or
September of this year. Surveying
and planning for the road along
the west side of I^ike Whitney is
receiving the major attention of
the resident engineer’s office at
this time.
