Pennsylvania must exhaust all available federal highway funds, with $8,000,000 at stake, to bolster industry, provide jobs, increase wealth, and save lives.

Pennsylvania Turnpike Itemizes Construction Materials
The project will use contractors from approved quarries mainly along county right of way. High grade lime and sandstone are available nearby but may be insufficient for demand. Cement, sand, and steel will be heavily purchased from Pennsylvania sources for tunnels and roadways. The highway, financed by a PWA grant of 126.1 million and RFC bonds up to 35 million, uses no State funds.
