Plans for new highway routes west of city and Sixth Street bypass
State Highway Commissioner Harold Snider announced postwar plans to build a two mile cutoff west of town from Number Six schoolhouse on Highway 59 to Highway 40 east of the Country Club and a belt line to ease through traffic. A West Lawrence link near Sixth and Seventh streets would redirect east-west flow to reduce Seventh Massachusetts congestion and capitalize on Sixth Street’s wider right of way. The projects, part of a postwar program, await Public Roads Administration approval. A field survey team arrived to study the routes as planning concentrates on postwar road construction with increased federal cost sharing under potential congressional action.
