Missouri to launch 90 to 100 million highway plan
Missouri Highway Department chief engineer Carl W. Brown announced a postwar road program of 90 to 100 million dollars for three years, contingent on federal funds of 15 to 18 million annually with dollar-for-dollar state matching. The plan priorities include continuing the current system, city streets, and rural roads, with prewar price assumptions and expected cost increases. The program could start immediately after the war, creating thousands of jobs and potentially 25 to 30 million dollar highway starts in the first year. The new constitution changes restricting highway work in smaller cities may affect funding.
