After Project Planning.
The US 301 Waldorf Area Transportation Improvements Project has been funded for project planning only. Once the planning process is completed and an alternative selected, the project, if funded, will move into the design stage. Environmental studies, alignment approval, engineering, and right-of-way acquisition have to be completed before construction can begin.
Design and Right-of-Way Acquisition*
Timeframe 2-3 years.
Construction*
Timeframe 3-5 years.
*These actions are not currently funded in the Consolidated Transportation Program.
