The project is currently in the Preliminary Design phase, during which public input is being gathered to help select a preferred alternate for future development. The Final Design phase – where detailed plans are created- is expected to take approximately 18 to 24 months. If funding is allocated in the next Highway Plan, the Right of Way phase could begin as early as 2027 following completion of the detailed design. At this time, no construction start date has been established.
