The ODOT District 3 production department will prepare the plans for the project. The total construction cost is estimated at $3,850,000. Eighty percent of the construction cost ($3,080,000) will be funded from District 3’s National Highway System (NH) pavement allocation. Twenty percent of the construction cost ($770,000) will be funded by ODOT. Construction would be scheduled for SFY 2007. The project would be awarded in October 2006.
