drc32-0 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I'm out riding a long loop Sunday and I wanted to finish the ride by heading east on 147 from 9 over to Bellaire to slab back home.When I get to Centerville where 9 and 147 intersect there are road closed signs on 147.It said 14 miles until the closure point so I thought,what the hell I can ride most of it and either turn around or take some of the recently paved county roads around Key.The closure is on the flat area just out side of Bellaire!This means you will have all those great esses on the hill going out of Bellaire to yourself as long as the road remains closed.Since all the fracking traffic has picked up in that area I always feel lucky when I get a clean run up/down that section of 147,now it's almost a sure thing. Just a heads up to all the people that are heading down to 536 from the north.9 and 145 are also recently paved which will take you to 147 from 556 at Beallsville.The new pavement on 145 starts at the county line,about 2 miles out of town. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) I've been over in the Beallsville & Woodsfield area 3 times in the last 2 weekends. I need to venture a little further north and check these out. Edited July 31, 2017 by JustinNck1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're hungry the Beallsville diner has good food.Have cash,I don't think they take cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, they're still cash only (I haven't eaten there this year, but did in 2016). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
