Continues Work
On Road Safety
BY THE END OF 1932 NEARLY
TEN MILLION DOLLARS WILL
HAVE BEEN EXPENDED FOR
THE ABOVE PURPOSE
Steady progress in the elimina-
tion and improvement of the gradd
crossings to safeguard the motor-
ing public is reflected in a sum-
mary of Pennsylvania Department
of Highway activities for the past
18 months, which Secretary of the
Highways Sam Lewis made public
today. By the end of 1932 nearly
$10,000,000 will have been expended
in this field, the cost being divided
between the Department and var-
ious agencies as allocated by the
Public Service Commission.
In 1931 the Department eliminat-
ed 23 railroads grade crossings, al+
tered 21 crossings to improve sight)
distance, replaced or reconstructed
14 bridges, and eliminated the need
for three existing bridges, with the
consequent saving in maintenance
costs. The work cost approximately
$3,970,951.61 of which the Highway
Department paid approximately $1,-
713,248.37.
During the six months
much work was started,
be completed within the
actual completion was reported on
three eliminations, two relocations,
two bridges reconstructed and three
bridges built where grade crossings
formerly existed. Two crossings on
the new .rural route system were
among those eliminated.
Ten projects are in progress
which involve bridge construction,
reconstruction, elimination of cross-
ings by relocation, and in one in-
stance both the road and the rail-
road are being moved to eliminate
crossings and provide better
conditions. This year’s work will
cost about $6,000,000.
At present the Department is ing
terested in 18 cases pending before
the Public Service Commission.
