Show Illinois Completed 900 Miles of Road in 1925 By laying 900 miles of pavement In 1025, Illinois completed more mileage than in any previous year except 1923 and 1924, the division of highways declared de-clared in a statement. "This additional addi-tional mileage," the statement said, "is not only of great value to traffic In the local communities, but adds much to the value of the mileage already al-ready existing by' making it possible to reach points heretofore isolated by earth roads. "Perhaps the greatest measure of local relief was given to the west central cen-tral portion of the state between the Illinois and Mississippi rivers, where much heavy grading had been done during previous years, but where pavement pave-ment could not be completed prior to this year because of the necessity of waiting for heavy fills to settle. Every Ev-ery effort will be made to continue the highway work of Illinois in 192G at the same record-breaking rate." |
