Lougheed outlines general five year highways plan
Premier Peter Lougheed said a five year plan for highways and city transportation facilities will be presented to the Alberta cabinet late next month. The plan will give general guidelines rather than a detailed building program and may not outline individual projects. Lougheed noted legislative approval will be required for yearly budgets, and stressed the plan may indicate areas of emphasis such as roads to tourist sites or to industrial routes. He did not commit to a timetable for specific projects and confirmed limited discussion on Highway 48 and Maple Avenue Bridge.
