Timely completion of the ADHS is an essential step toward fostering economic growth and enabling Appalachia to become a significant
contributor to the national economy. When completed, the system will connect the 13 states in the Region with nationwide and
global economic opportunities. Selected Strategies: Work with federal and state departments of transportation to identify
and overcome barriers to the development of ADHS sections in the location-study phase. Assist federal and state departments
of transportation in solving design problems and moving ADHS sections to the construction phase. Support efforts to obligate
the maximum amount of the annual appropriation for ADHS construction, and work with state departments of transportation to
accelerate construction of the final phases of the highway system. Promote a development approach for the ADHS that preserves
the cultural and natural resources of the Region while enhancing economic opportunity.
