Proposed Liberty Highway Through Gage County
The plan would establish a state aid road running west from Pawnee City through the southern Gage and Jefferson counties to Endicott and Fairbury. It discusses opponents in Wymore seeking a northern route four miles south of the Golden Rod Highway, arguing the southern route would require more grading and bridges but would pass through five towns.
