HARTINGTON - Hartington will be on the new route of the Sunshine Highway, which comes south from Brandon, Canada to Wichita, Kansas.
At the present time, the highway goes from Brandon to Sioux City, with the towns along the route in S.D. boasting for it. However, Sioux City has shown no great desire to be on the route, while a number of towns in Nebraska have expressed a wish to be on a new routing of the road.
Highway officials felt that the appeal of these Nebraska towns was too strong to be denied, so the old route to Sioux City stands a good chance of being dropped.
As planned now, the highway will cross the Missouri River at Yankton over the Meridian Highway bridge and will then come south through the present state highway through Fordyce, Hartington, Coleridge, Laurel and on to Wayne.
