Iowa set to spend 9 million on roads over five years
The Iowa State Highway Commission unveiled a five year road plan through 1966 totaling about 390 million dollars. The program prioritizes interstate construction, slows primary road work due to funding squeezes, and reallocates funds among primary secondary and urban systems. Maintenance and planning costs rise as more four and six lane expressways appear. Several projects slated for 1962 to 1965 are postponed under the new plan.
