A virtual public informational meeting for the project will be held on Thursday, November 19, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.

Construction is expected to start spring 2029, depending on funding, right-of-way acquisitions, and permits. The estimated cost is $16 million, with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
