Bureau of Public Roads faces gaps in highway supervision
An AP report outlines the Bureau of Public Roads budget of 29.5 million and an 11 percent engineer cut, with 1122 engineers. It notes 40,000 contracts since 1956 and 10,000 active, plus 135,000 miles inspected and 2,900 bridges. Critics warn the limited staff struggles to oversee a massive 20 year 41,000 mile superhighway program. The piece covers coordination with states, inspector roles, and debates over expanding federal oversight.
