after the national recovery period, however, permanent new bridges
must be built.
Streets in outlying urban areas will need major renovations, and improvements,

recovery period.
Projects No.1 and 3 in table 0.10 might be directed toward the National
Recovery Plan if funds were provided in time. The other projects In table 0.10
