SALEM (AP) An Oregon Highway Division representative confirmed Tuesday that federal funds for Oregon highway projects have been unexpectedly held back Larry Rulien said the US Department of Transportation informed the division Monday it will get $25 million less than anticipated between now and Sept 30 Rulien is executive assistant to the state highway engineer The deferment means the division will decrease its spending by 34 percent to $48 million during the months Ken Tweldt executive director of Associated General Contractors of Oregon predicted a summer in the heavy construction in the state could see the loss of some 1000 jobs because of this deferment of he said the deferment still leaves contractors under a cloud because no one knows how long it will The Transportation Department will delay giving states money already committed to them from the Federal Highway Trust Fund apparently as part of a federal attempt to mitigate inflation Rulien said the federal agency notified his division about a week ago to put a moratorium on pending projects in anticipation of a new policy He said recommendations on which projects might be abandoned temporarily will be made Wednesday at a meeting of the state Transportation Commission Rulien said deferment may delay completion of Interstate 205 in the Portland area by as much as eight or nine months though it probably will not affect construction of the 1-205 bridge across the Columbia River b0l- REG 999 FITS MOST FULL SIZE AND MEDIUM DOMESTIC CARSI INSTALLS IN MINUTES!
