Pennsylvania Ranks 41st For Road Quality, Cost-Effectiveness (Harrisburg, PA) -- A nonpartisan policy group has ranked Pennsylvania 41st in the country for road quality and cost-effectiveness. The report by the Reason Foundation suggests the state could benefit from adopting a design-build approach to road construction, which it says could reduce building and maintenance costs by as much as 30 percent. In comparison to neighboring states for road quality, Pennsylvania outperformed New Jersey and New York, but still trailed behind others, such as Ohio.
