President Obama signs short-term U.S. transportation bill: White House

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday signed into law a short-term transportation bill extending funding for highways and other surface transportation through Nov. 20, the White House said.

The bill keeps federal funds flowing to road and bridge construction projects, while also extending a key rail safety deadline to the end of 2018.
