Bypass Recommendations from Gallia County Officials
Gallia County Engineer J. Roy Bartlett and commissioners proposed two measures if Route 35 bypass proceeds. They urged posting an alternate U S Route 35 and, if not feasible, placing an eight by 16 foot sign with a route map and local information at the bypass ends. The plan targets the Gallipolis to Kanauga corridor and aims to divert transit traffic while aiding local business.
