Harpers Ferry bridge and road plan advances in tri state project
The West Virginia Road Commission moves toward federal approval of a 2148705 dollar bid for a steel bridge over the Shenandoah at Bolivar linking with the Sandy Hook route.

Meanwhile Hagerstown businessmen are polled on making Washington Street one way following a State Roads Commission recommendation via the Chamber of Commerce.
