Delegates Gauge Cost of Bandytown Whitesville Road
A hearing on a 2.2 mile Bandytown to Whitesville link estimates cost at 2 190 000 with state shared grading hopes. Delegate says prospects dim and coal firms might cut costs if they undertake grading, potentially halving state county costs. A short linking road would shorten routes to Madison and Stantington, syncing six southern counties to a through highway.
