Highway Department Plans Construction of Road West of Crown City
State highway department plans a new road west of Crown City in Gallipolis area. Right of way through Pilgrim Holiness Church lands and behind the village school will be used. The project links with Highway No. 7 from Klondyke northward, with earth moving to create a fill where the church stood. Church trustees have secured a new site and will relocate the building. Local groups urge extending the current No. 7 upgrade to join the Crown City road, with detours via No. 218 and nearby routes during construction. Residents fear business impact but acknowledge a straighter line and fewer curves once completed.
