Repair Work On Interstate 90 Shoulder Fix Bid
State Highway Department bid openings in Harrisburg yesterday included one for a double dip into tax funds. The joint bid by Charles H. Fry Construction Co. of Erie and Foster Grading of Jackson Center, Pa., offered 1 948 285 dollars to repair shoulders on Interstate 90 from the Ohio line to the New York line. The project aims to restore shoulders that disintegrated soon after the Pennsylvania section of the super highway was finished. Investigations from an Erie newspaper to a State Senate committee and to the Bureau of Public Roads in Washington failed to pinpoint blame for deterioration, with studies pointing to faulty design and weather effects in Erie County. The Bureau reportedly accepted responsibility on behalf of its design engineers. Lesler's committee cost state taxpayers 50 000 dollars.
