Athens Hub Of Appalachian Highway Plans And Delays
Athens sits at the center of about 20 million dollars in Appalachian Highway work to be finished in four years. Ohio Highway official Dowler says federal decisions delayed bypass plans for U S Route 33 and 50, with the southern edge of Athens chosen for the new route. The project may reshape local bypasses and boost the area’s economy as plans are finalized.
