Appalachian Highway plan changes debated in Athens council
Athens council chambers heard revisions to the Appalachian Highway alignment proposed by Deputy Highway Director John Dowler. Changes west of Albany add four lanes from the Meigs County line to Albany and move Route 50 to an access role near the university airport. A second revision shifts a two mile two lane section to the highway’s south side between Radford Road and the existing four lane.
