Gallia County approves state takeover of five highways
At Gallia County hearings in Gallipolis, State Highway Department officials heard residents push for taking five roads into the state system. Advocates cited the Cheshire-Porter-Bidwell-Rio Grande route as vital for 3,000 residents, local schools, coal land, and regional college access, with other roads in Crown City to Route 218 and Rio Grande areas discussed for inclusion. Officials expect state takeover by July 1 with maintenance by the department.
