Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1987, vol. 03, issue 2

Abstract: Half of the rural low-volume roads in four Midwestern States need major repair. A fifth of them should be reconstructed. Townships are responsible for maintaining those roads, and financing such largescale repairs is beyond the capabilities of most small governments. Selective maintenance may be the only way to keep all the roads open. Based on a survey of 6,000 townships in Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
