Highway Improvement
Study Conducted
Virginia faces an annual construction and maintenance program ranging from $14,500,000 to <$25,000,000 for the next 10 years to overcome widespread deficiencies on 2,475 miles of the State’s busiest rural highways.
Extensions of those rural roads through citiea totaling 223 miles, would require additional expenditures of from $6,800,000 to $9,500,000 annually.
These findings are contained in an engineering appraisal \ which , was recently completed in Virginia to help determine minimum requirements essential to sustain highway transportation at reason-* able levels of efficiency and safety during the national defense period.
The study was made by the Automotive Safety Foundation, of Washington, and was financed jointly by the Virginia Department of Highways and the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads.
The report was presented to General James A. Anderson, Highway Department Commissioner, in a formal ceremony this morning by Col. Carl E. Fritts, Vice-President-in-Charge of Engineering of the Automotive Safety Foundation.
