Winter weather dictates road damage in Athens County
Athens County Engineer John Dowler said spring thaw and rainfall will determine county highway damage after a severe wintry period. He noted more equipment helped keep roads in better shape than 1945, though snow removal limited other work. Over 13,908 man hours, 963 truck loads of sand, 754 loads of crushed cinders, and 70 loads of boiler cinders were used to keep 353 miles of roads, including school routes, open from mid December to mid February.
