Excerpt from California Highways and Public Works, 1948, Vol. 27Today the 1948 estimate for California vehicle registra tion is of all types, and in the design of highway facilities consideration must be given to the characteristics of the 100 hp. Pleasure car and the heavy duty diesel truck and trailer. This design calls for heavy pavements, concrete structures, railroad grade separations - and on freeways, interchange structures.Improvements and construction of this nature cost money. Back in the early twenties satisfactory roads could be built at costs ranging from to per mile. Today two lanes of Portland cement concrete pavement cost per mile for pavement only without any other items of work. Oh a divided four-lane highway, if con structed of Portland cement concrete, the pavement item alone will amount to per mile.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
