Front Royal By Pass Plan Announced
The plan for a 4.51 mile Rt 340 bypass was unveiled by the State Highway Department at a joint Front Royal Town Council and Warren County Board of Supervisors meeting. It would carry 11 150 to 18 150 cars daily, with right of way costs around 705 500 and construction 1 312 600 totaling about 2 018 000. Front Royal’s share would be about 100 000.
