The Rouse Road project is currently in the Construction Phase.

The construction plans for both sections of the Rouse Road project have been completed. Orange County has initiated the acquisition of some of the right-of-way that will be needed for the Rouse Road project where early acquisition was feasible. Additional right-of-way will be required for road right-of-way, stormwater ponds, and temporary construction easements and/or slope easements may be needed to blend the proposed improvements with existing conditions. Continuing through 2007, Orange County will acquire the remainder of the right-of-way. For further information regarding the right-of-way acquisition process, please see the Contact Information page for the appropriate Orange County representative.

Section 1 construction will last approximately 24 months and is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2014 with an estimated roadway construction cost of approximately $11,500,000.00. Section 2 construction began Jan. 2008. This project will also last approximately 24 months and is tentatively scheduled to be completed by Jan. 2010 with an estimated roadway construction cost of approximately $18,600,000.00.
