Road Costs Raise Concerns for Idaho Highways
Idaho State Division of Highways warns that inflation and revenue stagnation raise road costs. The department maintains over 250 more miles than in 1958 and maintenance expenses jump from 7.8 million in 1964 to 21.6 million in 1976. Labor and equipment costs surged while wider roads demand more upkeep, absorbing about 49 percent of state highway funds.
