approximately $500,000 will be required.

was previously approved in the 1998 TIP. The approximate cost of this first phase is estimated
to be $ 2,739,705.

This project consists of widening approximately 3600 feet of existing narrow two lane road to
four lanes, with five lanes at major intersections. Two sidewalks, curbs and underground storm
drainage will also be added. The approximate cost of this project is estimated to be
$2,955,946.
