Excellent New Road Around Brushy Hill Opened
Through the kindness of Mr. John H. Whitmore Lexington district supervisor a new road around Brushy Hill was shown last Thursday and opened Friday June 9. The route branches off the Alum Springs road near Rockbridge Lime Kilns and rejoins near Old Monmouth church. The grade is about 4 percent overall avoiding the 15 percent slope of Brushy Hill. Whistle Creek is bridged at the old Brown Woolen Mills with stone culverts and cross drains to handle water from upper ditches. The road benefits Kerrs Creek district and smooths travel compared with the older route.
