To date, contractors have completed a topographic survey and mapping throughout the project limits and conceptual design plans based on the survey; an engineer’s estimate; watershed mapping, drainage inventory and existing conditions drainage model; traffic signal design and traffic analysis.
County Department of Public Works officials estimate the project will cost between $14 million and $18 million. Complete design is expected to be finished by the fourth quarter of 2025 per the DPW, with construction slated to start in the second quarter of 2026, according to officials.
