New construction of roads in that area would virtually eliminate the curves. From that point, the pro- posed road is just south of the beacon light. The new road would virtually inter- sect the south end of the “S” curve on that roadway. At that point, the road- way moves westward across a valley to another inter- change, located about a quarter mile north of the Garber farm on the Cedar Tree road. The interchange there is with legislative road No. 36068. Shortly west of that inter- change area, the roadway swings northward and then westward to the edge of Elizabethtown. The interchange on the west bank of Big Chiques creek utilizes the present bridge and points up the reason Road 230 between Lancaster and that bridge has been designed for some time as an area which would become limited access. Tied with the new plan- ning for limited access, the four-lane highway from Lan- caster westward would thus be all one stretch of similar highway. As now planned, the route in this area follows a corrid- or which will involve prac- tically no buildings. Previ- ously proposed lines involv- ed problems of farm build- ings, schools etc. After the hearing next week, and after approvals are given, the final drawings will be begun and the exact locations plotted.
