Gallia County Advances High Flood-Escape Road Project
Gallia County Commissioners move to build a six mile flood-escape road from Brandstetter Heights west along Chillicothe Avenue to Rodney Village. The plan seeks WPA support and aims to regrade ditch and top-dress the former stage coach route while narrowing rights of way from 60 to 40 feet to avoid landowner disputes. A joint city WPA project would add a 300 foot fill from State Street to the county line crossing Chickamauga Creek.

Gallipolis to build flood road linking State St and State Route 35
Plan calls for a large stone culvert and new fill to allow year round vehicle traffic at Gallipolis Ohio despite high water. The Vine Street crossing and Chillicothe Avenue access may be abandoned. State Street likely becomes the main approach to the new road, improving connections to Route 35 at Rodney.
