Road Testing Site Selected For National Highway Study
A LaSalle county site near Ottawa will host a million dollar series of road tests chosen by the American Association of State Highway Officials. The tests will run over at least a year on a six mile relocation of U S Route 6. Construction begins in 1953 with a four lane divided highway built to test different structural designs under continuous traffic.
