■ Expressions of concern about the ability ot our state to maintain an adequate and safe system of highways have been commonplace during my Administration For example Federal officials now are estimating that the cost to maintain the Interstate highway system during the commg 10 years will egua! the SIOO billion cost of building the system We in Indiana have been sensitive to the dimension of highway maintenance problems for several years because we recognize that federal highway funding policies discriminate against us and the formulas set by Congress don t seem to acknowledge the reality of putting a priontv on maintenance At times it seems that we merely are frustrated bystanders in another transportation debacle reminiscent of the Penn Central fiasco However it always is a pleasure to convey some of the more positive aspects of the situation In Indiana we hope to cushion the shortage of highway dollars by the application of better technology and construction practices A recent example was provided by the opening of a tirst-of its-type bridge m Western Indiana It is a segmental bridge -- built piece by piece right on the construction site — and then launched in steps across to the opposite bank There

isn t another like it on the North American continent There are a number of potential advantages to this type ot construction. which up to now has been tried only in Europe Often, segmental bridges can be built more rapidly and more inexpensively They offer certain maintenance advantages not shared by other types of construction The front-end savings in construction and the long-term savings in maintenance make this a significant accomplishment. from the standpoint of both the motorist and the taxpayer Several months ago. we inaugurated a segmental bridge using a different style of construction These new concepts will help us confront what is looming as a monumental bridge-building and bridge maintenance need During the next few years Indiana faces bridge replacement requirements on a scale far larger than ever before undertaken Unless there is a rapid and favorable change in our ability to finance highway improvements, we will face this important task with far fewer dollars to accomplish it than are necessary Better technology such as our segmental bridges will play a key role Unfortunately it won t always substitute for hard cash

The Association spokesman said that the three-year-old organization to promote snowmobiling as a safe, family winter activity has the cooperation of Indiana s Departments of Outdoor Recreation, Natural Resources. and Tourism. Squiers stated that the annual event should boost winter tourism in the state. He added that the association, with its 16 affiliated clubs and 2,000 members, is working with state officials to develop approved riding trails and safety programs for an estimated 35,000 Indiana snowmobile owners. Squiers said that snowmobile riders interested in the Sled-a-Thon and Winter Carnival program should contact county Heart Association officials, local ISA clubs, or write to Larry Bishop.
