State Turns Back Road Onto County
The state highway commission turned back about six miles of state Road 39 in Car roll county from the Y to the Clinton county line. The state will take over roughly four and a half miles of county and township road westward, with markers removed from the old stretch. The new route runs from the Y south to state Road 26 then east into Rossville and Frankfort, about a half mile east of the paved road plan. The move aims to parallel the new road and ease material transport, not affecting the Prince Williams Wildcat creek bridge contract.
