 In 1975, residents of a trailer park on Pioneer Road and city officials asked the county road commission to reconfigure the intersection between the county road, Division Street and Pioneer Road to reduce accidents.In 1976, the MCRC shifted the southern end of CR 553 westward to its current alignment from K.I.Sawyer AFB to New Swanzy so the road crossed the railroad in a different location, using a bridge instead of the previous at-grade crossing.
