Seven year highway program may be cut to five years
Plans for Route 33 from Athens to the Fairfield County line and beyond could speed up with a bond issue. Current four lane sections include 4.12 miles to Route 180 and Chauncey to south of Nelsonville. Future work in Logan and Haydenville would add miles of four lane highway at a total estimated cost of about 16 million dollars over five years. Other projects include bridges and raised low areas on routes 50A 124 216 278 and routes 144 685 329 with costs ranging from 37 000 to 750 000 dollars and a 1966 bridge project on Route 329 north of Amesville.
