Superhighwa

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) United States is on the eve of a huge new superhighway program costing about S27.500.000.000 over the next 13 years. with the federal government putting up'S25.000.000.- 000 and the states the rest. .. It will mean a system of 40.000 miles spanning the country. linking the main cities, with six, four and two lanes. overpas.-zcs. underpas- ses. and a minimum of stoplights.

What will it he like? Represen- tative Russell V. Mack recently painted a picture of it:

". . .Thirteen years from now the motorist can travel from. . . northern Maine to the Mexican border smith of San Diego. Calif., a distance of 4.500 miles, over four - lane divided highways on which traffic will not be in- terrupted by a single stoplight." DEFENCE NEEDS Sound romantic or far-fetched? An official of the government's bureau of roads. which will super- vise the project, said, "No. that's just about right."

Today there are 62,000,000. In 10 years there will be about 85,000,- 000

But the 327.500.000.000 for the superhighways is not all the money the government and states will spend on highways. They will prob- ably spend an additional 323.000.- 000.000 over the next 13 years on primary. secondary and urban roads. The federal government and the states for years have been chipping in on the cost of primary (main. most travelled highways). 39901108?! (less - travelled) and urban lhizhways going into cities) roads. In the there now are about 240.000 miles of primary. 500,000 '1"”93 0f 99001108?! and perhaps 5.000 miles of urban roads. Where does the new supu-system fit into this picture? IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED Of the 240,000 miles of primary Folds. 40.000 will be designated as part of the interstate system. Does that mean no new roads will be built. that the 40.000 miles of prim- gr roads will simply be imp:-ovgdft 0. some of those 40.000 miles will be widened. straightened out. over. Dassed or underpsssed. or other. wise improved. But about 32,000 miles of new roads-which will be. 90""! the Primary roads-will be built. For example: A present prim- HY road-or parts of it-may have to be diverted to make it shorter or more direct.
