Amarillo Highway Plan Tabled for Later Decision
The Texas highway commission met in Austin to table the Amarillo route while continuing review. The proposal would start at the Bushland Underpass about 80 miles west of town and run south of the railroad to a proposed underpass west of the helium plant, then follow the old right of way to the west city limits before connecting to Sixth Street and North East Eighth. The commission held 12 public hearings on other routes, with 14 more set for the afternoon, and planned an executive session later to decide on the Amarillo plan.
