Juda Road Cutoff and Schwarzenberger Projects Speeded
Two relocations on highway 11 at Juda and Schwarzenberger hill are proposed for the county big highway project. Clarence Jones, division state highway engineer, told the county board the board will vote and allocate funds. Construction is urged as soon as possible with a $90 000 allotment for next year. The Juda route will bypass the village business section and the Schwarzenberger plan includes top cuts to improve vision for 1 000 feet and a railroad signal instead of an overpass. Federal aid considerations differ by project and several bridge upgrades on highway 92 are also planned. The board's session ends with elections and pay increases pending.
