Design Construction Impacts
· Three Stage 1 right of way acquisitions proceeding to condemnation. If possession and use of the properties is not secured by mid March, the advertisement date will need to be delayed.
· As reported in previous quarters, project costs have increased. Construction of Stage 2 may need to be deferred if an additional $9.8 million is not appropriated in the new 2007 legislative budget.
· There are existing utility easements adjacent to State right of way that will be impacted by this project. A portion of the utility relocation costs will be the responsibility of the WSDOT.
