Guilford-Bainbridge RoadNearly Ccmpleted
Guilford motorists are looking forward to the use of the new Bain- bridge road, which has been under construction during much of the past summer and is now nearing completion.
This new road, of gravel construction, "has called for a large amount of grading and during much of the late summer and fall work has been interfered with to some extent by heavy rains.
According to E. B. Pendleton, superintendent of highways, this piece of construction will be finished in a couple more weeks, weather, of course, permitting. When a reporter visited the project a few-days ago there were gangs of men busily at work on the job, gravel for which has been hauled from the William Porter place along the Bainbridge- Sidney road a short distance above the intersection of this route (No. 6) v,’ith the Yaleville road. Mr. Porter’s property has been vastly improved by the cutting away of the last of the high gravel bank north of his residence and between his farm buildings and the state road. When Route 6 was put through road contractors took away about half of this bank, which formerly cut off a view of Mr. Porter’s property from the road; this new project has used up the balance of the gravel deposit.
At last report there were 110 men still employed in highway construction, maintenance or other county road projects. Many of the 300 men employed by the county in various projects have been utilized on this Yaleville job in grading and spreading the new gravel roadbed. Other county enterprises are the two bridges built on side roads near Smyrna. In other sections of the county shoulder scrubbing, construction and maintenance are still under way. The highway report was submitted to the supervisors last week. The work on the seven mile Yaleville project started June 20th and at that time it was planned to finish it by the end of November this year.
