  • Abstract:
    The condition of county roads and city streets was assessed using two methods-(1) by questionnaire to the cities and counties and (2) by using Department of Highways and Public Transportation records. There was some discrepancy between the two methods in actual mileage and bridge needs; however, the results were within reason. Therefore, it is suggested that the results of the questionnaire be used to form the basis for needs. The study found 2889 miles of road (1346 miles of city streets and 1543 miles of county roads) and 595 bridges (82 city and 513 county) in need of reconstruction at a cost of $281 million ($153 million city and $128 million county). Also, an additional $321 Million should be included for capacity improvement needs in the urban areas for a total funding need of $602 Million. If the local needs are funded by the legislature, a system should be established to determine if the funds are being used as directed and to report the improvements in road condition. This monitoring system should result in a certifiable, auditable report which would be forwarded annually to the Comptroller of Public Accounts or appropriate state agency.
