THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY JANUARY 29, 1959
Never Before And Never Again
all Georgia’s interstate routes.
The highway department has
set a target date of December,!
1961, to have it open all the way, I
with the exception of temporary j
connectors in Macon and Atlaft- 1
,
ta and the 40-mile-long stret- j
ches of four-lane highway al¬
ready built north and south of
Atlanta. These two roads, to
Griffin and Cartersville, event¬
ually will be rebuilt because they
do not meet the high standards
of the new limited access federal
highways.
The interstate roads will
have built-in safety features—
curves, for instance, that you
can take easily at 60 miles an
hour, and hills graded so gently
that you can’t top one and crash,
unexpectedly into a wreck or a
stalled automobile. The hills, in
fact, are being trimmed down
so there will be no place on the
highways where an object as
small as four inches high can¬
not be seen in ample time to
brake a car to a complete stop
from a speed of 60 miles an
hour.
GEORGIA is getting 1,140
miles of these super roads, a
billion dollars’ worth. In open
country a mile of the four-lane
divided highway may cost only
half a million, but the price
jumps enormously when the big
road bulldozes it way through,
or around, cities and it will aver
age about a million a mile.
Ninety per cent of the billion
dollar bill is being paid by the
Federal Government. Most of us
have no concept of what a bil¬
lion dollars is or how much it
would buy in the way of asphalt,
concrete, bulldozers and real
estate. Well, in its entire history,
the Georgia Highway Depart¬
ment has not yet spent a billion
dollars for ail the roads it ever
built.
The state is approaching that
one-billion-dollar mark and will
ease past it with the completion
of the roads for which contracts
were let last year. Those 1958
contracts were for a record-
shattering amount: $120,000,000,
which is more than a tenth of
the total the highway depart
ment has ever spent. By far the
largest chunk of this money is
for interstate roads.
You already can drive over
samples of these superhighways
in several parts of the state.
The highway department
hopes to have all of Georgia’s
share of this north-south Route
75 under construction by the
end of this year. Late in 1961
barring unforeseen “if's”—tour
ists, truckers and traveling men
should be able to drive straight
through Georgia, using tempor
ary detours around the giant
interchanges to be built in At¬
lanta and Macon. The existing
four-lane highways north and
south of Atlanta already are out
moded by the new roads, the
present Marietta highway must
be rebuilt and the new four
lane to Griffin will have to be
completely remodeled or re¬
located to meet interstate speci¬
fications. But these roads pro¬
bably will be used until the rest
of Route 75 is completed.
