The Board of Alderman is not in full support of this project. There was heavy discussion on the economic impacts and right-of-way acquisition that could possibly take place.
Timeline: Construction to begin in 2019
Cost: Est. 7.9 million
Project Description: Odell Road will be widened from the current two lanes to four lanes. Raised 23-foot median will be constructed.
