Aid Is Promised On Highway Access
James W. Moore, vice chairman of the State Highway Board, said the highway department will assist Richland Parish landowners in securing access to Interstate 20. Richland Parish police jury and Rayville and Delhi town councils urged plan changes, especially a south frontage road, with US 80 to serve north of I-20. Moore noted the federal Bureau of Public Roads has final say, but state officials advocate careful consideration for landowners.

Parish officials list drainage concerns, fair compensation, and the need for multiple frontage roads to prevent end-of-road dead ends and reduced access to Rayville, Delhi, and Monroe.
