History

In early December 2017, Kel5 began making plans to build a road connecting the town of Merritt Lakes with the rest of the New World. He theorised a plan to connect Merritt Lakes to either Titsensaki or Ravenna via a two-lane single carriageway B-road; though these plans were never discussed with the mayors, and never came to fruition.

During this time, Kel5 came into contact with the then mayor and deputy mayor of Verdantium and formed a joint road plan - the A2 and A230. By connecting these two roads, many of ward 2's new towns would be connected to the New World Highway System.

By mid-2018, Kel5 had left the server, and construction of the A230 had halted at Nymphalia. By this point, the A2 was complete but was completely cut off from the rest of the world.

After a two-year construction hiatus, _Mossie decided to plan and construct the remaining section. The new routing was approved at the August 9th 2020 GSM and construction was finalised on September 22nd, with the A230 finally opening to traffic on September 23rd 2020.
