EXPECT LITTLE TROUBLE FROM GRAVEL ROADS i Bulletin Declares Highway Surfaces Are Good Over State. N I,it tie trouble Is anticipated from gravel and stone surfaced roads cutting through under heavy traffic this spring and reports show frost is practically out of the ground and surfaces are responding to constant dragging, said the weekly traffio bulletin of John D. Williams, State highway commission director. Thl applies particularly to southern Indiana* where thaws come two or three weeks earlier than in northern Indiana, he said. State roads in the Vincennes district are now open to all kinds of traffic, and gravel and stone roads in the Crawfordsville district are serving bus traffic and barred to heavy truck traffic only during wet periods. The same condition exists, Williams said, in the Seymour district. Maintenance forces are dragging many gravel and stone surfaces daily. Summarizing the entire system of nearly 3,000 miles of nonrigid types, highway officials said this mileage is in very satisfactory condition for uninterrupted traffic, the only inconvenience to the motoring public being where detours are necessary due to construction projects. Surface conditions on roads entering Indianapolis: No. 1 (New Albany, Indianapolis. South Bend. Michigan line) —Dstonr just north of Peru account of dredge ditch. Detour from two miles north of Edinburg to Franklin, account of paving. Old road at Marshfield will genre all traffic, but ls subject to Inundation by high water. No. 3 (Richmond. Indianapolis. Terre Haute)—Temporary bridge at six miles west of Richmond. No. 6 (Madison. Greensburr, Indianapolis. Lafayette, Oxford)—Detour marked at two mile 9 north of Lebanon. Short detour two and one-half miles northwest of Thorntown. Through traffic from Indianapolis to Lafayette advtsed to use 44 and 29 from Lebanon to Lafayette. No. 12 (Vincennes, Spencer. Indianapolis)—Drive carefully at approaches to temporary bridge two miles north of Gosport. No. 22 (English, Pao'i, Bedford. Bloomington, Martinsville. Indianapolis)—Traffic using new railroad overhead bridge at five miles south of Indianapolis, but in extremely wet weather it is best to use detour out S. Meridian St_ as new grade wi]l be very soft. Closed between Martinsville and Bloomington and English and Paclt for paving. Through traffic between Martinsville and Bloomington use Nos. 12 and 32. Use old bridge and old road account of bridge and road construction at two miles south of Bedford. At Paoll take a county road to Grantsburg via Marengo and English. Avotd south of Grant.*burg account construction and no good detour road. Nu. 37 (indianapoliß. Anderson. Muncie) , —Pavement from Indianapolis to Muncie. Detour around bridge construction at Ingalls. Use old No. jl at iunetion of 11 and 37 from two and one-half miles south bf Pendleton to where old No. 11 intersects new State road north of Pendleton. . No. 39 (Indianapolis. Rushvllle. Brookville, Ohio line)—Run-around at bridge construction three miles south of Cedar Grove.
