Road Construction At Record Level In Kansas
Kan sas highway construction contracts reach a record 121 million dollars through May 1 with 7 to 8 million more expected by June. The figure reflects funds freed by federal controls and bond money plus efforts to accelerate projects. 137 miles of Interstate freeway and state highways, 46 bridges, maintenance and signaling projects totaling more than 12 million on county roads are noted amid material shortages and lower state gas tax revenues. If a House bill allowing borrowing against future federal apportionments passes, Kansas could finance additional improvements.
