Construction may temporarily affect access to businesses and residents. During the environmental assessment, strategies were developed to address access changes and construction impacts. The project team will work with property owners to minimize the effects of construction.
Construction is not likely to happen immediately. Once the environmental process is finished, prioritized portions of the project can move into design, and then into construction when funds become available. The Proposed Action is expected to be built in phases because funding will not likely come in one lump sum. Funding would be received over many years; the project would be implemented in logical, constructible pieces.
