Taxpayers can expect a $313 billion bill to keep the roads up for the next two decades, the Houston Chronicle reports.


The estimate comes as legislators consider tightening control over the Department of Transportation, the paper writes.
"The release of the preliminary findings comes as lawmakers are conducting their periodic "sunset" review of the Texas Department of Transportation amid questions about its financial accountability and in the wake of controversy over its handling of planned public-private partnerships on toll roads and the Trans-Texas Corridor transportation network."
