2:30pmCT latest estimate for Columbia Western Bypass to open

Mr. Pete Gilpin with the Kentucky Highway Department said about 15 minutes ago that he expected the final striping to be done in as little as 45 minutes, after which the Columbia Western Bypass would be open to traffic.

That would put the opening at approximately 2:30pmCT today, Thursday, October 9, 2008.

History maker: Della Harmon first on CBW from south



2008-10-09 - Jamestown Road at Columbia Western Bypass - Photo By Ed Waggener.
DELLA HARMON didn't set out to make history, but she did. She was just scoping out the fastest way to the new Super Wal-Mart at Holladay Place and happened to be the first car to enter the Columbia Western Bypass from the south after it was officially opened. There are four eye witnesesses. "I never was first in my life," she said, and flashed her beautiful smile. She was well ahead of Mr. Brooks Coomer, retired Adair County High School Principal, who drove his Fleetwood onto the parkway next, we think. Traffic was really light, despite the plunging gas prices and maybe because of the plunging economy, however.
