NCDOT delays I-85 widening
John Lansford 6 April 2005 02:00:24
	http://www.the-dispatch.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050404/NEWS/504040355/1005/NEWS01 A plan to widen Interstate 85 in Davidson and Rowan counties starting late this year has fallen prey to the N.C. Department of Transportation's chopping block due to a statewide cash-flow emergency. The $180 million project will be pushed back until after 2010 when the state's Transportation Improvement Program is revised this month, said DOT Division Engineer Pat Ivey. Local transportation leaders hope to find alternate funding to speed up that timeline, but where the money will come from is anyone's guess. ... The I-85 project includes widening a 6.8-mile stretch of the interstate from four to eight lanes from Long Ferry Road in Rowan County to the I-85 Business Loop split in Lexington. It also calls for constructing two new bridges and abandoning two older bridges on Highway 29-70 into Spencer. Both Ivey and Nancy Dunn, the Division 9 representative on the N.C. Board of Transportation, consider the I-85 project a top priority. But its high price tag meant funding the construction as scheduled would delay all other highway projects throughout the division, which covers Davidson, Forsyth, Rowan, Davie and Stokes counties. Projects that received preference over the I-85 widening include construction on Interstate 40 Business Loop and Highway 52, both in Winston-Salem, Ivey said. Construction on a state section of the future West Lexington bypass was spared from project cuts but will be delayed. Construction on the West Lexington bypass was scheduled to begin in 2009. This month's revised TIP will show right-of-way acquisition for the bypass beginning in 2009, with construction starting in 2011, Ivey said. ... Dunn said funds for the project could come from one of two options: a new cash source - such as taxes, tolls or federal money - or by changing the funding process for interstate projects. Funds for interstate improvements are currently distributed through the same equity formula used for local road construction projects, Dunn said. The I-85 widening delay, she said, should illustrate her funding concerns to the state Legislature. "The bearer of the maintenance and expansion on those roads (interstates) should not fall to the local division as a local priority," she said. The I-85 project will be completed as a design-build project, meaning some construction can begin before final plans are completed to expedite the process.

Another article in the Lexington paper pointed out that this project would have taken all the funding available for the division had it been kept on schedule. No other projects (widening, bridge replacement, safety, etc) would have been funded for the next three years. That is the consequence when the funding dries up; hard choices must be made.

But I guess the money's going to four lane Mark Basnight's driveway at his beach house... CZ NC
