Strong indications were seen
today that Alaska’s expanded
highway program is shifting
into high gear in preparation
for a record breaking highway
construction season in 1961. It
was announced by the Divi

bined primary and secondary
federal aid project near Palmer
will be advertised February 17,
1961, and that P.S.&E. certifi
cations on five more federal
aid projects will be submitted
to the Bureau of Public Roads
within the next week. In addi
tion, the Division reported a
state project has been certified
by its right of way section.
Included in the projects sub
mitted to the Bureau of Public
Roads are work on the Moose
River bridge. Big Lake-Houston
road, O’Malley road. Big Lake
secondary, and the Kalifonsky
Kasilof road. These projects
are estimated to total around
four million dollars.
“All of us in the Division of
Highways are happy that the
results of our many long hours
of work will soon be obvious,
especially because of the ad

from opposing factions and in
terests which have made the
