Pennsylvania Department of Transportation officials said it will be sometime next week before they finish reviewing the complex highway and mass-transit legislation Congress approved yesterday to determine how much the state will get for roads, bridges and transit.

"They held the details close to the vest," PennDOT spokesman Rich Kirkpatrick said of the House-Senate conference committee that hammered out the final bill.

None of the Pittsburgh regional projects identified so far comes as a surprise. In most cases, the earmarked federal funds provide a fraction of the final costs to accomplish the work and merely keep projects moving along.

In past years, the state has received up to $1.22 for every $1 it paid for transportation via the federal 18.4-cents-a-gallon gas tax and other related taxes and fees.

U.S. Sens. Rick Santorum and Arlen Specter, in a press release, said the bill ensures the state will get at least $1.13 in return for each dollar in taxes and fees it pays to the federal government.

Each member of Congress yesterday was provided with lists of funded projects in their districts so they could announce them to constituents.

Funding for the biggest area project -- the $2.5 billion needed to complete the Mon-Fayette Expressway into Pittsburgh -- was earmarked at only $6 million. Project supporters had lobbied lawmakers to provide up to 20 percent of the cost.

So far, the Federal Highway Administration has given the Pennsylvania Turnpike about $63 million toward the ambitious 100-mile network, which also includes 30 miles of the Southern Beltway along the WashingtonAllegheny county line.

The bill also paves the way for portions of Interstate 279, Route 22/30 and Route 60 to be designated as Interstate 376 and become part of the Interstate Highway System. Millions of dollars are still needed to bring Routes 22/30 and 60 up to interstate standards, and the bill doesn't include that money.

Other projects announced individually yesterday by Reps. Tim Murphy, R-Upper St. Clair, Mike Doyle, D-Swissvale, and Melissa Hart, R-Bradford Woods, and jointly by Republican Sens. Specter and Santorum include:
