Transportation workers furloughed

News reports today state that more than 2,000 United States Department of Transportation workers have been furloughed because of an impasse in Congress.
The federal Department of Transportation Web site states that the move will temporarily shut down highway reimbursements to states worth hundreds of millions of dollars, as well as national anti-drunk driving efforts and multi-million dollar construction projects across the country.
None of the construction projects on the list are in Pennsylvania.
