Route 33 Improvements Likely After 1962 Say Ohio Official
Max Farley, director of the Ohio Division of Highways, told the Pomeroy Chamber of Commerce that rerouting Route 33 from Pomeroy to Athens probably will wait until fiscal year 1962. The plan would bypass Pomeroy and Middleport, with a new route from Five Points on Route 7 to the Laurel Cliff Rd intersection and a spur to the Pomeroy Mason bridge. The project, costing about 2.7 million dollars, would shift maintenance to village streets and requires extensive bridge work across the division.
