Inflation Hurting Highways in Kansas Plans
Gov. Robert F. Bennett said rising prices for machinery and materials and a shrinking dollar threaten Kansas highways. He cited a 1,234 mile freeway system funded by bonds and federal funds, with a $40 million bond issue sold in fiscal 1979 and all funds programmed to be spent by 1984. Bennett noted DOT reorganizations have doubled highway construction miles and outlined a five year plan totaling $1.3 billion, guiding future construction under the 3-R program.
