Virginia Highways Gradually Being Whipped Into Shape by State Department.
. . .
The Coast-to-Capital highway, or Route 9, has its origin at the Hampton Creek bridge, near Old Point Comfort. From there to Lee Hall the highway is of concrete. From Lee Hall through Williamsburg and Toano to Diascund Creek is under construction and will be concrete surfaced. Bids will be opened on June 7 for the construction at eleven miles of concrete highway from Diascund creek to Providence Forge.
A survey has been completed and plant have been prepared for a gravel read from Providence Forge to Bottoms Bridge, a distance of 10.8 miles. From Bottoms Bridge to Richmond has been surveyed and plans have been prepared for the early completion of the road from Richmond to Seven Pines. That leaves four miles not taken care of.
