New Route Planned For Highway 285 South From Roswell
Assistant district highway engineer T B White explained a re route for U S Highway 285 south of Roswell to the Chamber of Commerce highway committee. The plan aims to remove the Cross Roads railroad crossing hazard with about nine miles of new highway funded by a 94000 federal grade crossing allotment. The route would bypass the current road, entering Roswell east of the hospital and joining south Main Street near McGaffey Avenue. County officials discussed securing right of way at Thursday’s commission meeting, with state power to obtain ROW replacing county authority after a bill passed the House following Senate action. If contracts aren t let by June 30 the federal funds would be withdrawn.
