Middletown Chamber Pushes West Approach Improvements
The Middletown Chamber of Commerce announced a plan to widen Central Avenue from the hydraulic canal bridge to Rt. 122 and to improve the west approach to the city. President Donald G. Driscoll said the project, supported by City Commission Chairman Francis Carmody, would include a new bridge over the Great Miami River and upgrades along the west end toward the B&O tracks. The move mirrors a long state program begun in 1947 to enhance Rt. 122 and connect Middletown with the Preble County line.
