[edit] Route description
County Route 708 is split into two parts.[1][2] The first is Zulker Avenue and the second is Walker Avenue. Both are less than a mile and do not leave Berlin.[1][2]
[edit] Zulker Avenue
Zulker Avenue begins at County Route 561 in Berlin.[1] The road makes a curve and ends at the second segment of County Route 708, Walker Avenue, .12 of a mile after starting.[1]1 Notable places along the short road include a wetlands mitigation area, which is also on Walker Avenue.[3]
[edit] Walker Avenue
The second segment, Walker Avenue begins at State Route 73 in Berlin.[2] Less than 1/10 of a mile in, Walker meets up with the first segment of County Route 708, Zulker Avenue. The road continues in a straight-ward direction, providing the entrance to a mall. Walker Avenue crosses Lucas Avenue, County Route 561 and ends at Bates Avenue, still in Berlin. The total distance is .69 of a mile.[2]
[edit] Developments
In 2006, work began on a wetlands mitigation site on both parts of CR 708.[3] Walker Avenue was also part of the Berlin Circle replacement project, which added roadway widening, reconstruction, drainage improvements and safety improvements for Walker Avenue and several other routes. A connector route, Zulker Avenue Extension was also added from Route 73 to Walker Avenue.[3]
[edit] Intersections
Both roads have few intersections throughout their short distances.[1][2]
