State halts highway right of way purchases except interstates
State Highway and Public Transportation Commission suspends all right of way purchases for highway projects not on interstates or farm to market roads. Funds kept by the State Highway Department lag behind rising costs, forcing a pause until financial studies finish and new priorities are set. Local government purchases are urged to suspend long range acquisitions as well.
