In modernizing part of road from Peoria, Ill, to Chillicothe, Ohio, widening was made difficult by presence of railroad on one side and high bluff slopes on other; this necessitated cutting back into slopes, giving cuts extending up as high as 99 ft above highway; soil was fine sand covered with mantle of clay interspersed with gravel and sand conglomerate; manner in which slopes were protected from erosion. From "Highway Mag," date not specified.
