The race
The race is on. This Monday and again on Tuesday, fellow reporter and blogger Josh Sweigart and I are putting a myth to the test.
Apparently, some community members say it’s quicker to travel around Ohio 4 directly than to use the Ohio 4 Bypass. So, he and I are going to put this to the test.
It seemed to make sense that I, the Hamilton reporter, should take Ohio 4 around Hamilton and Sweigart, the Butler County reporter, should take the bypass. Google Maps estimates he will win the race with seven minutes to spare. On paper it makes sense, I am traveling 8.8 miles to his six and I will face several more traffic lights. Though, he’ll theoretically face traffic and, for the most part, just one lane in each direction.
So, how crazy does this idea sound? The photographer we commissioned with the assignment had some choice words for us about how stupid he thought the idea was. Does anyone who travels either route frequently think otherwise?
