However, despite the progress that has been made, the Foundation warns of growing problems that lie ahead. Traffic volumes, as measured by gasoline sales in the state, have increased nearly four times since 1935. As a result of these increased volumes, many of Utahs roads are reaching a limit of their practical carrying capacity. The Foundation study concludes that should the present traffic volume trends continue, Utah, may be faced with the problem of increasing the carrying capacity of the highway system. Such an expansion program undoubtedly would involve high cost factors for right of way and specialized traffic engineering projects. $48 Million In Four Years Utah Foundation points out that the State has undertaken greatly accelerated highway construction program during the past few years. Since 1950, Utah has spent nearly $48 million (or an average of $12 million per year) on new highway construction. Construction expenditures have been even greater during the past two years when nearly $30 million (average of $15 million per year) was spent.
