Montana to Boost Its 1956 Road Spending
The Montana Highway Commission plans about 24 million dollars for 1956 road and highway construction, a 20 percent rise from 1955. Hart cited 19.3 million spent in 1955 plus 4.7 million estimated for 1956 construction, with 6.9 million for maintenance and equipment. Total state maintenance and federal aid construction would reach 30.9 million. The first 1956 letting is planned for March, with about 17 million in carryover work. If federal aid increases early 1956, Montana could gain up to 10 million more for interstate construction. Breakdowns include 60 miles of interstate work, 160 miles of primary highways, and 120 miles of secondary grading and drainage.
