State Cuts Will Hamper Road Work

KWGS News

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma's transportation agency says the state's budget shortfall will delay its eight-year plan to fix roads and bridges.

Department of Transportation officials estimate they will have $31 million less to spend from the Rebuilding Oklahoma and Driver Safety fund, an account dedicated to fixing roads and bridges.

Executive Director Mike Patterson says the reductions will stall some projects this year.
