The new bridge which will carry the
the extension of Route 291 over the
P & N's main line is already under
construction. This bridge will accommo-
date a 30-foot roadway over the railroad

INDUSTRIAL SITES will be created on both
sides of the main line where the bridges cross. The
railroad approaches bridge site (in the distance)
over terrain suitable for future development.

and will have enough span to permit the
P & N to install a future track on the
west side of the main line. This new
road will open up industrial property
on both sides of the main line.

U. S. 29 will go over

Almost in the construction stage is
another larger bridge a half a mile north
which will carry U. S. 29 across the rail-
road. In actuality, this project is a re-
location of Grove Road to the west of its
present route. When this job is completed
U. S. 29 will intersect Route 250 near
Salem Church, about 2,000 feet from
the White Horse Industrial District. A
diamond-type intersection will be con-
structed at that point. After crossing
Route 250 the new highway will continue
southward and cross the main line over
a bridge which will be 58 feet wide. A
little further on this highway will connect
with the extended Route 291 and continue
southward to Anderson and into Georgia.

When these improvements are com-
pleted within the next two years the

White Horse Industrial District will be
one of the most accessible areas in South
Carolina. Traffic will be able to move in
every direction over modern roads which
avoid the congested areas of the city.

District has everything

On top of this superb highway accesi-
bility, the White Horse Industrial Dis-
trict will have paved streets, sites graded
to building floor level, railroad service
tracks, sanitary sewer, city water, storm
sewer, electric power, telephone service,
uniform building setback lines, and re-
strictions as to quality of buildings con-
structed in the rea. An extra bonus is
the already developing pattern of in-
dustrialization in this area and the pros-
pect of similar development where U. S.
29 and S. C. 291 will cross the P & N
nearby.

If ever an industrial district had every-
thing, this is it.
