Hold Hearing Thursday On Highway Location
A state highway commission hearing at 2 p.m. Thursday will discuss a proposed realignment of the trunk highway between Midway Trempealeau. The plan would move the highway from the junction of county trunk XA 35 53 west across Black River to join highway 93 near Beardsley corner, replacing the existing route from Midway along county trunk XX to New Amsterdam and toward Towner School. The McGilvray road has been closed for more than 50 years due to a weakened bridge, and the new location would be about three quarters of a mile downstream from the old bridge.
