Contractor/Consultant
The project has not been advertised or awarded.

Recent Progress

The project team submitted a request for additional funds to account for the recent rise in materials cost.  The project team also met with Maintenance on site to look over the project to determine what areas of work should be completed first if scope of project is cut back to met the current budget.  Work force needs may require needing to bring on a consultant to help deliver the project.

The project office will provide documentation to eliminate the slope flatting and ramp taper lengthening work based upon impacts to wetlands and accident history. The deletion of this work will remove the Nickel funding from this project.
