State Highway and CAA Confer on Route 4 Plan
City officials, the State Highway Department, the Civil Aeronautics Administration, and the Federal Public Works Administration met to align tentative surveys and elevations for future Route 4 improvements near Germantown Road and the airport. The plan includes straightening a curving road segment, relocating the road west of a new low-elevation bridge 500 feet south of the current high truss bridge, and coordinating airport land needs with a $180,000 airport improvement project funded half by the city and half by the federal government, targeted to begin next summer.
