Great Road Development In Wyoming
During Seven Years.

|
Great Road Development In Wyomin,
During Seven Years.
The last seven years have been ;
period of great road development il
the state Of Wyoming, according tC
figures collected by the Bureau Of
Public Roads of the United State:
Department of Agriculture. From
1914 to 1921 the total road mileage
increased from 14,797 to 46,52s
miles. This is in strong contrast
to the majority of States, which have
made great progress in road improv5-
ment, but without any appreciable
change in total mileage.
During the seven-year period the
mileage of improved road has increas-
ed from 1,724 miles to 6.S67 miles.
The mileage of road is classified as
follows:
Miles
Unimproved .,...........3 1888
Graded and drained ....... 6,715
Gravel, ebert, shale ....... 413
Hard surfaced ........... 81
In the State there is a total of 61S
highway bridges.
An analysis of the figures collect
ed by the bureau shows that there is
one-half mile of road per square
mile of area; that the annual road
revenue is $55.32 per square mile,
$116.25 per mile of road, and $27.S2
per capita.
In 1921 the total road revenue in
Guiding Federal-aid funds, amount
ed to approximately S5,4OS,OOO and
expenditures S4,725,OOO. During the
year 1878 miles of improved road
wore completed in the State and con-
siderable maintenance work done.
That Federal aid is playing a con-
siderable part in road advancement
in this State is shown by the fact that
on August 81, 474 miles of Federal
aid road had. been completed, 421
miles were either under construction
or approved for construction. and
nearly 100000 was available for
new projects
The State system of over 5000 |
miles of road to be built with FEEDER
al aid and which will form part of
the Federal-aid highway system. will
be definitely settled upon within a
short time.
