REVIEW
The Press-Gazette (Hillsboro, Ohio) Friday, 2 June 1972, issue has the article Appalachian Road Work In 4 Sections on page 22 that mentions the Jasper landslide in paragraph six as follows:
The other two Appalachian construction projects within Division 9 include a section from Jasper to Route 772 in Pike County where the contractor, Engle Construction Company, McArthur, has encountered delays in the form of a large landslide, which may delay completion of the project well into 1973. The 4.471-mile project being built at a construction cost of $2,355,357 was scheduled to be completed Sept. 30, 1972.
