State Highway Dept OKs 19,000,000 Gallons Bituminous Material
Harrisburg February 28 Secretary of Highways John A Shroyer announced recommendations for award and purchase of 19 million gallons of bituminous material for the 1915-46 resurfacing program covering about 4200 miles of highway at an estimated cost of 1 818171 70. Bids were opened February 1. Last year the department bought about 11 million gallons for 1 410286 71. The chief difficulty this year is securing tank cars to transport the bitumen while the new material allows roads to open immediately after work with minimal public inconvenience and continued traffic during the project.
