State reviews halt $150 million in highway projects
State Highway Director Pearl E Masheter ordered engineering firms statewide to freeze about 150 million dollars of highway work for review by the new administration. Some contracts awarded late in the former governor's term may be cancelled. The measure targets projects not slated to start in the next two to three years. Route 9 from Cuyahoga County to Elyria is exempt from the freeze, though a delay stems from a legality question in a right of way hearing near the Cuyahoga Lorain county boundary. The Amherst held Route 854 project remains delayed due to Amherst city concerns.
