Engineer's East West Route Proposal Still Vital for Charleston
M. E. Campbell long argued for a second east west traffic artery to serve Charleston's business district. His plan, echoed by the Charleston Chamber of Commerce, envisioned a route from Patrick Street along rail lines to Laidley Street, crossing Elk River, paralleling Washington Street, and connecting with Kanawha City Bridge. The anticipated daily traffic of 43,000 would grow far beyond that in 20 years, with counts now more than doubling.
