Saratoga to Millwood road work urged for dam access
County Judge Jones Floyd pressed Highway Commissioner John Harsh to speed paving on the dirt Saratoga to Millwood road near the dam site. The state aims to link Highways 32 and 355 to create a paved route from Saratoga to the dam, with engineers already paving two miles on the Saratoga side while the rest remains rough. The road would serve picnic and fishing areas and provide a third route to Texarkana, while bypass options and demand from Hope residents for a direct dam to 355 connection were noted.
