The French and Belgian armies have |
»| With the Highway Department pre-
| paring for a busy construction season
{in 1930, with dozens of road contracts
mainten-
sent indicitions. It is expected that the
department forces will surface between
[250 and 300 miles of highway in ad-
[dition to the ordinary maintenance
| work.
| In recent years the department forces
| have been averaging from fifty to sixty
| miles of road surfacing. This staff of
workers also has been resurfacing more
than 100 miles of flexible type highway
| annually.
The department had a road-letting
| scheduled for the latter part of this
| week which called for more than 140
| miles of paving and grading. There
| were about half a dozen grading proj-
ects on this letting involving more than
twenty miles of road. The department
|is planning to place a macadam sur-
| face on these sections after the grad-
{ing has been finished.
Virtually all of the road built by the
| Highway Department without awarding
| contracts of macadam surface. These
| roads are on newly graded projects
| pending permanent improvement later
|or on roads that are not expected to
{carry heavy traffic. The department
| forces, because of the type of road they
| build, are permitted to work later in
| the year than the projects under con-
| tract.
| After the 1929-30 highway program-
| me of the present administration is
| completed it is estimated there will
| remain about 3000 miles on the Sys-
| tem unimproved. If the Federal Govern-
| ment increases its appropriation for
, roads, Pennsylvania may receive an ad-
{ ditional $2,220,000 for highway purposes.
| That sum, when matched by the State,
[ will enable the department to build
| nearly fifty more miles of road.
The Highway Department has tenta-
| tively scheduled its firsa bid letting of
11930 for February 5, 6, and 7. This
| will be the first three-day letting since
| early last year. Officials have not de-
| termined definitely upon the mileage of
| road improvement to be included at
| that time. : Cd ga Tt
USIeE JANUArY T tHE departEnt has
| awarded contracts calling for the im-
| provement of slightly more than 690
| miles of road. This work will be done
"at a cost of $36,790,177. September is
| the high month of the year. Contracts
{ were awarded then for improving more
[than 128 miles of road costing more
than $7,300,000. October was next with
| more than 111 miles of road, although
| the contracts let in August for 106
| miles were more expensive than the
[October awards.
| There remains about 450 miles of
| road on the highway programme of
[1930 to be advertised. It is the plan
of the department to have this all un-
| der contract by May 1.
| Contractors have laid opproximate-
[ly 530 miles of new pavement this year.
| There have been slightly more than
| thirty miles more laid this year than
