Fayette Roads Studied at Meet
Meadow Bridge High School hosted a Fayette County meeting on road improvements. Attendees urged the State Road Commission to hard surface Backus Meadow Bridge Road, Crickmer Crook led Hill road, and Patterson Mountain road each year until completion. They also pressed for Meadow Bridge to Danese widening, ditching on Danese Crickmer and Beach roads, and grading 1600 feet toward Ed Gunnoe’s home. The Beelick Knob road, serving 15 farmers and 30 coal miners, should start work immediately due to years of neglect and danger to mail carriers and residents in need of medical care.
