It certainly looks as if the City confiscated some of the right-of-way to

If this doesn't work, then City photographer picture 3962 will show original
alignment of route 68 vicinity Murray Ave. bridge.

through Greenfield, looking south, toward the intersection with Hazelwood.
Not sure if it was a temporary track, or if it what we're looking at in the

roadbed, and located where there is now residential homes, I think.
