Milepost

[NW Mailing List]

Look at the Kenova District and you’ll see it was shortened by over 24 miles between Naugatuck and Kenova with a realignment. Naugatuck is MP N484.3/Na0.0 while Kenova is N567.9/Na59.2. The old route was 83.6 miles from Naugatuck to Kenova which was reduced to 59.2 miles (this all from TT #7 dated 7/8/1979).
