Bluefield Appeals To SRC For New Boulevard
Bluefield proposes an east west Highland Boulevard to relieve mid city traffic. The plan shows a route from the U S 52 bridge over the Norfolk and Western yards to Bland Street with 50 local sponsors backing the project. Bluefield seeks 3 percent federal urban highway funds with state support for the rest. The boulevard would run parallel to Bluefield Avenue carrying U S Routes 52 19 and 460.
