Developer says overpass/utility work largely complete; broader tie‑in may finish by 2030–31
Summary
Ortiz told the board that 90–95% of utility work for the large infrastructure tie‑ins is complete and estimated the larger project could finish in 2030–2031; he flagged multi‑agency coordination with the school district, county and state as complicating factors.
Ortiz described major infrastructure work associated with the project, including overpass ramps and extensive utility borings to cross under roadways. He told the board most utility work is done—“I would say 90 to 95% of the utility work is done”—and that the broad project could be completed around 2030–2031.
Ortiz said coordination across multiple agencies and owners (school district, county, state and city) and relocations—he referenced the school district kitchen and the armory—added schedule complexity. He also described where a future overpass might be located (near Shiloh) and cautioned residents the roadway could be temporarily closed or reconfigured during construction activity.
Board members responded positively to trail and road designs and asked for schedule dates; Ortiz said he would provide dates for the next board meeting.
