New Entrance Planned for Shenandoah Farms Roads
Buck Longerbeam of the State Highway Dept announced a new entrance into Shenandoah Farms with major construction to start soon. The Rt 50 to Rt 638 turn is flagged as dangerous, especially for school buses, though most of Rt 638 through Clarke and Warren counties will not see major repairs this year. If weather allows, the new road section between the Scott and Brock farms should be finished in six to eight weeks, prior to winter. A petition to hard surface Rt 638 has gathered several hundred signatures, but officials say there is no funding in this year's budget to honor further improvements.
