State highway trunk line expansion faces 39 year buildout
The State Highway department warns that completing the trunk line system as proposed would require about $20,000,000 and 39 years at current appropriations. About 600 miles are involved with more than 300 miles on paper and no near-term projects. Bridges on trunk lines must be maintained and eight-ton limits apply, raising concerns about growth and bond funding.
