It is proposed to improve US Highway 45 from near the north end of the existing four-lane U.S. Highway 45 near the General Tire and Rubber Co. at Mayfield, and extending northerly to end on the existing four-lane section of U.S. Highway 45 near the Lone Oak Baptist Church. The Highway location is such that the proposed highway can be constructed economically with partial control of access. The section is four-lane construction with a 60 ft depressed median. The new facility will provide safer, faster, more efficient transportation for national defense, intrastate, interstate and local needs. However, the project will displace four residences and one business (a service station); will cause temporary inconvenience to the through and local highway users during construction; and will cause the taking of land for right-of-way purposes.
