Freeway Timetable Hinges On Federal Aid State Says
Ohio highway officials said federal aid could unlock plans to build two interstate freeways from Conneaut to Cleveland and Cincinnati to Dayton, with two access roads to a new U.S. 25 freeway in Middletown. Without federal funds a $5.4 million plan would risk a $2 million deficit, while $1.78 million remains for emergency projects. Plans foresee toll and free road options, with completion targeted by July 1, 1957, and costs estimated at 100 million for the northern leg and 32 million for the southern leg.
