Dual U S 340 highway plan discussed at Grange meeting
At Feagaville Community Hall the Frederick by pass to Sandy Hook bridge corridor was reviewed by State Roads officials led by Russel H. McCain. Plans traced a 1952 program for widening and resurfacing segments totaling about nine miles with a Steiner’s Hill relocation. Officials now say cost and traffic demand justify a future dual highway with one lane built first, though no start date is set. The Grange adopted a resolution urging modernization of the existing road while preserving potential use as one lane of a future dual highway.
