Highway Building Program for 1926 Greatest Ever
A Cleveland dated report notes 1926 road construction plans will surpass prior years with state programs and local departments together expected to spend around 200 million dollars. Total highway expenditures may exceed 1.6 billion, with about 4 million miles of planned construction and resurfacing. Steel demand is rising, but New York and Illinois plans remain tentative and Pennsylvania projects show the largest steel needs. The era’s car usage and mileage push highway networks to support vast traffic and evolving road science, while demand grows faster than capacity.
