Freight Road Reroutes Grow Bustle on U S 40 In Maryland
Blue Ridge Lines rerouted most buses to bypass U S 40 from Frederick to Hagerstown due to new weight restrictions, cutting short haul passengers and adding about 20 minutes to trips. Middletown residents feel the impact as work begins widening East Church Street to 28 feet, aided by city land from the Everedy Company. Superintendent J Elmer Shultz says CCC will build a stone lodge atop High Knob at Gembrill State Park for a public restaurant with views over Frederick and Middletown valleys. The Frederick Housing Authority plans a Lincoln Apartments project with 50 fireproof low rent units in the southern city sections.
