Road committee to inspect proposed east western link to Roanoke
The Chamber of Commerce road committee plans an inspection trip tomorrow morning over the Memorial Avenue to Cumberland Pike to Oakvale project. A direct Roanoke connection is favored, with current southern routes via Bristol and Wytheville and northern routes toward Beckley Welch and Williamson. Mercer county has exhausted state bonds, so further Route 24 improvements depend on local funding unless delays stretch five to six years.
