Happy Motoring on State Highway Route 11
Btlicvc It or not, the above ls ercnc—furthermore, a com mo.i s cne—on a regular state highway rnute. one of the most important IJ, Wyoming V'alley and also the .'Idest.
It 13 part of Wyoming avenue. where it passes the airport in thc Forty Kort-Wyoming area. A half dozen times every year it geU as shown above or is closed complete .>, forcing the tremendou* volume tai traffic il should carry over thi baci< roads of Swoyersville anJ West Wyoming.
These roads, as might be expect- pil, are entirely inadequate. But i.'icy have to carry the traffic of Route U not just when there is nne of the infrequent floods in Ihi S-asquchanna, or tne usual apring freshet. Instead, this highway is under water and blocked every liiio Abraham's Creek gets a Iittl Irgh and due to the nature of things, Abraham's Creek geta hig* eiiay.
Why   the  atate   highway  depart¬ ment  permit*  »uch   a situatio lj|!st    never   haa   been   explained. Aeveral  time* proposals have  been .     made   to  Improve   the   situation,   ii 1  only by raising the road for just k fif few hundred feet so that it  would be out  of   reach  of  the   flood.    It really Isnt much of a job.
But It Isn't done and the result Is the picture above—until It goes a little higher and is closed - again snd again and again.
