ALDOT delay tactics in full force on this one, this project repeatedly gets pushed back. They have been talking or "planning" for this project at least 10 years.
"Johnny Harris, the DOT Division 1 engineer, said the state hopes to start final design on the project in fiscal 2011. Right of way acquisition could begin in one to two years, he said.
Construction depends on when the money becomes available, Harris said. That could be three to five years away.
He said construction could cost from $15 million to $20 million, and the entire project could cost from $20 million to $30 million including right of way acquisition and engineering.
The 1.6-mile long project will involve building a four-lane through road with two-lane service roads on each side from the near the top of Chapman Mountain to about one-half mile east of Shields Road."
