I'm not sure exactly when this road was reconstructed and widened, but it was probably in the late 1980's. The re-alignment of the roadway formed an oxbow road, which is still in use today and is named Addie Roy Road. I could only find one true abandoned section of road, which is adjacent to the existing road. About half of the abandoned road was recently lost to real estate development.
