Flood protection plans eyed for Rt. 73 at Trenton
Franklin Morgan reports officials aired proposed flood relief for Rt. 73 including moving the bridge site up to 400 feet north of last November’s plan and building a levee west of the new bridge. The方案 could save about 72 000 dollars but require additional funding if the levee is built. A further hearing would be needed if funds are raised. Authorities expect construction may not start before spring 1963.
