The plan calls a dual lane with controlled access in a 1 675 0 million highway program and work is expected within four years. Traffic is projected to reach 14 200 vehicles daily by 1965. There is a history of slowdowns, winter slick spots, and monthly multi vehicle pileups. A tunnel was built under the highway to aid Fountaindale School students crossing. SRC Chairman Russell McCain pledged early action under the 12 year plan.
