Congressman Ben Cline testifies for Interstate 81 Funding

Congressman Ben Cline testified before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee May 1, 2019 advocating for improvements to Interstate 81. Each year there are nearly 2,000 crashes on I-81, with over 25% involving heavy trucks, and over 45 major crashes a year causing delays greater than four hours.

Current conditions are not only a frustration, but a grave public safety concern. People are dying on this road and the failure to keep America’s infrastructure up to par is costing lives. Cline say that Congress must act to get America’s roads moving again with public safety at the forefront of our agenda.
