Construction of Man o’ War Boulevard at Richmond Road on July 21, 1982. This view is looking southwest down Man o’ War. At left is what is now the site of a CarMax auto dealership, and on the right is where Walmart is now. Man o’ War was completed and widened in segments over 15 years. The segment shown here extended Man o’ War 1.1 miles from Richmond Road to Mount Tabor Road, now known as Alumni Drive.
