State transportation officials stressed Tuesday there is no “plan B” for funding road and bridge improvements if federal officials fail to approve tolls on Interstate 80.
That was the discouraging report state Transportation Secretary Allen Biehler and two legislators gave representatives from PenTrans, a group of public officials and engineering firms involved in transportation systems and projects.
If the I-80 tolls are approved by June, there will be $922 million available in fiscal 2010-11 to continue repairs on hundreds of miles of potholed roads, hundreds of deficient bridges and struggling mass transit systems in Allegheny County, Philadelphia and its suburbs and smaller areas, said Mr. Biehler.
