Completion of Turnpike Urged for Final Gap
Prospects to finish the last 3.5 mile gap in the Northwestern Turnpike were discussed at a Baltimore session. A joint committee, with appointees from the Baltimore Association of Commerce and the Northwestern Turnpike Association, aims to secure Maryland and federal funds to cover about 130,000 for design and 670,000 for construction, plus possible West Virginia loan. Joint builders expect Maryland’s share of an overhead crossing near Clarksburg, and a bridge tied to West Virginia, to be authorized. If Maryland appropriations and a loan for the 1930 appropriation are arranged, final work could be done in the 1939 window.
