State To Take Over Frederick And Liberty Turnpikes
A large delegation pressed Carroll County leaders to have the State Roads Commission assume control of the Frederick and Liberty Turnpike, nine miles long, with officials unsure when toll gates will rise. Spokesman Emory L. Coblentz said the move depends on state funding and turnpike title ratifications, with possible county upkeep until resurfacing. Several toll gates may be removed as the state broadens its road system.
