...sent to the House, where speedy approval is expected, the bill provides $1.1 billion in federal aid over the next five years. Of this, $840 million would be used to help build some 3,350 miles of new highways and access roads. Not that Appalachia has a traffic jam; rather, the area would like to create one, with a road system that would bring in new industry and attract more tourists to its thousands of acres of lakes and forests. West Virginia, for example, estimates that 360 miles of new parkway in the state might bring...
