New cement road near Pomeroy set for Oct 17 opening
A new 18 foot cement road segment from the town upper end to the river bridge approaches was completed and will be open by October 17. The contractor plans to extend work below the bridge to a large fill above Middleport before resuming the final nine foot section to the town. A 100 foot gap may remain this fall due to a possible winter settling. State highway official Karl Brown says resurfacing of Route 7 below Gallipolis is done and work will start toward the Meigs County line to provide a good winter road through Meigs and Gallia Counties.
