March 15, 1951 Long Range Road Program Lists Projects Here Resurfacing concrete pave ment between Plattsmouth and Nebraska City and work on the bridge and approaches to the Missouri river are marked as accumulated needs in a map re leased recently by State Engi neer Fred Klietsch. The needs are outlined in a balance sheet and a map marked in color showing two years of construction progress and the needs that remain on the state's long-range highway program. The map also lists additional or high type surfacing needs on a stretch of the highway north of Plattsmouth. Resurfacing concrete pavement is called for on the highway from the Platte river bridge north. The bridge also is marked for construction needs. The report shows, however, that during 1949 and 1950. 25 million dollars were obligated for construction by contract by the state highway department. With the money, contracts were let for 1,726 mlies of state high way. Construction of 137 bridges was also included in the amount spent. Much of the construction was only tempo rary. A part of the expense was for construction of the Plattsmouth Louisville road which was com pleted late last year.
