4 27 Southern Tier Expressway Route Revealed by State ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE Thursday, Feb. 4, I960 A I A 1 Si i i 1 II Ar5 A'i 'I If 4 i 1 IT- f' I I Cr ROCHESTER In BATH, Feb. 3 A $1 million dollar per mile, four-lane divided highway, with controlled access, similar to the New York State Thruway will be constructed across the Southern Tier of New York State with eventual completion slated ftr 1980. Plans for the super highway, known as the Southern Tier Expressway, designed for high speed travel were unfolded today before a special meeting of the Steuben County Board of Supervisors here. Engineer Tells Plans The plans were outlined by William J.

Dennis, assistant district engineer of the State Department of Public Works. The route will be an extension of the Rout 17 arterial highway development program. However, that portion of Route 17 westward from Painted Post through Addison, Jasper and Greenwood to the Allegany County Line will not be included in the new program, Dennis stated. At Painted Post the expressway will parallel Route 15 but on the opposite side of the Con-hocton River. At a point near the Antlers Restaurant about four miles north of here the new expressway will parallel Route 15 again.

Also near the Antlers where Route 15 intersects Route 70 the expressway will turn west and parallel Route 70 to a point about one mile north of the Hooker garage on the Hornell-Arkport Road. To Cross River The expressway will cross Routes 36 and 21, the Canisteo River and enter Allegany County at a point near Almond. Dennis said the new route was chosen because it serves at least 20,000 more persons than any other plan considered in the four-year study, and at no point is the maximum grade over 3 per cent. Also, by combining the Route 17 or Southern Tier expressway with the Route 15 expressway for about 20 miles from Painted Post to Antlers Inn, a saving of $25 million is anticipated, Dennis said. Also the maximum elevation on this route is 300 feet lower than any other route, thus alleviating the snow and ice removal problem.

It also was explained that the valleys in the Canisteo-Hornell-Arkport areas have more potential for industrial development than the Jasper-Greenwood areas. Dennis said the present Route 17 from Painted Post westward will still exist as a state highway and will be developed to the modern standards adequate for the traffic using it.

A two-mile 'stretch in the city of Corning to serve as a by-pass of Den-'nison Parkway, plus a stretch iof about four miles north of (Hornell to serve as a connection from present Route 70 to Almond-West Almond Road will have to be constructed. I Under law, when mileage is I added to the state system, a 1 comparable mileage must be re- moved and that is where the Steuben County board must act. The state is requesting certain roads, now on the unbuilt state i system, but which are currently county roads, be reverted to the county. The routes specified are portions of the Rexville-Troupsburg 'Center, Prattsburg-Italy Hill On the motion of Rathbone Supervisor James Crawford the million dollar project depends on the availability of funds. He said, "At present we are con-sidcring the high traffic areas and work is being done on a stretch between the Broome County line and Owego, and a stretch through Waverly.
