Plan could extend Athens Connector to Princeton
Blair Mays urges a 2.6 mile four lane connector from the Gardner I 77 Interchange along Brick Yard Road to the Thorn Street Bridge. The proposal links with last week’s Athens Connector plan to form a Princeton Athens route without altering Route 20. It would enter Princeton near the rail yard with ramps at Thorn Street Bridge, potentially tying to an industrial park access road to Route 460. Sadeghian declines comment.
