While waiting for Congress to resume discussions on a new, multi-year transportation bill, state officials are assessing how a further one-year legislative extension would affect their agencies' construction plans.
There wasn't a one-year extension proposal on the table for House and Senate transport bill negotiators when Congress began its six-week summer break on July 23. But with no deal yet on a multi-year bill and Congress expected to adjourn in October, a one-year extension isn't outside the realm of possibility.
