Pennsylvania Secretary of Transportation Barry Schoch
ListenGuest: Barry Schoch
This winter was rough on the roads. The freeze and thaw left thousands of potholes littered all around over our region making driving treacherous at times. Bridges across Pennsylvania are also in need of repair – over 4200 have been labeled “structurally deficient.” None of this is news to Pennsylvania Secretary of Transportation BARRY SCHOCH. But luckily, Schoch got his transportation spending bill passed in November which should bring billions in funding to fixing our deteriorating roads and bridges over the next few years. Today, Marty sits down with Schoch to talk to him about the state of Pennsylvania’s infrastructure and new projects in the works.
