俄克拉荷马州因联邦供资不确定和建筑成本上升而面临道路和桥梁项目延迟。 Oklahoma faces road and bridge project delays due to uncertain federal funding and rising construction costs.

官员们说,联邦预算不确定性正在危及俄克拉荷马州规划长期道路和桥梁项目的能力。 Federal budget uncertainty is jeopardizing Oklahoma’s ability to plan long-term road and bridge projects, officials say. 虽然目前的公路工程仍在继续,但长期的资金缺口可能延误关键基础设施工作。 Though current highway work continues, prolonged funding gaps could delay critical infrastructure efforts. 国家严重依赖联邦资金,特别是将于2026年到期的《基础设施投资和就业法》。 The state depends heavily on federal funds, especially from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, set to expire in 2026. 建设成本不断上升 — — 自2020年以来上升了63% — — 构成了挑战,因为国家1 000亿美元的高速公路系统需要270亿美元进行升级改造。 Rising construction costs—up 63% since 2020—compound the challenge, as the state’s $100 billion highway system needs $27 billion in upgrades. 一项八年计划概述了1 266个项目的70.8亿美元,但官员警告说资金不足。 An eight-year plan outlines $7.08 billion for 1,266 projects, but officials warn funding falls short. 俄克拉荷马州交通部敦促立法者在即将举行的届会上解决这一短缺问题。 The Oklahoma Department of Transportation urges lawmakers to address the shortfall in the upcoming session.
