Now that Interstate 12 has opened, the trip from Colesburg to Ashville has been reduced by 10 miles, saving commuters time and money. Previously, a commuter from Colesburg had to take Route 22 to Route 16. This indirect route actually took the traveler around the west side of Ashville to the city’s limits. It connects Route 22 to the northern boundary of Ashville.
Commuters are thrilled at the prospect of saving both time and money by taking this new highway.
Now that Interstate 12 is complete, commuters will no longer have to go to the west side of Ashville.
The addition of Interstate 12, which connects Route 22 and 16, has allowed commuters to save time and money.
