A Greatly Improved Road.
SPRING MILLS, PA, Sept, 24 1912. |
Editor Watchman:—
Last week the picnic pleasure seekers
appreciated the good road work done by
the State Highway Dep't. from Wood-
ward to Old Fort. There were upward
of 170 automobiles and 750 other con- | last
veyances used the highway during picnic
week. This week the road will be used
by many going to Union Co. fair, the fol-
lowing week it will will be used by those
going to Milton fair.
The old turnpike through Pennsvalley
is a distance of about 24 miles, all this
road work has been done in a few
month’s time. Many hundred tons of
limestone have been crushed and used
for repairs to fill up mud holes and low
places. Many places crushed limestone
has been used in sections of 200 to 1000
ft. Nearly 500 breakers from Old Fort
to Woodward have been cut down and
graded. It has been stated to the writer
that the Pennsvalley turnpike has never
been in such fine condition, washouts,
mud holes and breakers out of sight.
Last spring some parts of this road were
covered with clay washed from the hill
side that caused mud to the depth of 6
to 8 inches, these parts have been drag-
ged and the mud scraped off the road in
great quantities.
The Pennsvalley, seven mile narrows
have been covered with shale from the
Union Co. line to Woodward, the entire
south side of this mountain road has
been ditched for miles, with many under
drains, same has been graded with shale
and then dragged in order to keep the
centre of the road high. Many places
the road is three tracks wide. All trees,
brush and limbs have been trimmed so
that the sun and air will have a chance
to dry the road in 24 hours after a rain
With the centre of the road graded and
good drainage this will make a good road
as soon as the shale can be crushed and
packed.
In grading and sloping a mountain road
of this kind there were many hundreds
of large stone removed weighing from
400 to 1600 Ibs. each, some rocks were
as long as 6ft., these stone were used to
build drains under the road. It is esti-
mated that there were thousands of tons
of shale, stone and clay moved and han-
dled for improvements on mountain road.
