Flood Escape Road Plan Linking Gallipolis City to Chillicothe Road
Gallipolis City Commission may consider extending W State St across Chickimauga Bottoms to tie into the Chillicothe Road flood escape project. WPA cooperation could keep costs low with an earthen fill about 300 feet and a large concrete box culvert. Local and state engineers deem the plan feasible, potentially routing traffic above historic flood levels.
