Iowa Highway Chief Defends I 80 Embankment Work
The Iowa Highway Commission chief engineer L M Clauson defended I 80 road building methods after a collapse near Grinnell. He told Gov Norman A Erbe a written report shows time proven practices were followed and repairs cost about 15000 with 90 percent federal funding. The segment is to reopen this fall and the cause involved settlement timing and ground movement rather to faulty construction.
