Well it is the result of the circumstances that the Army is funding this re-alignment. As PTA is military installation. Hence the use of Defense Access Roads funds to do this.
It is very unlikely that the state or the county would be able to come up with entire the 220 million cost to complete this re-alignment.
Pretty much from m.m 19 to 42 is going to be built with DAR funds. The remainder, from
m.m 6 to 19 will be likely financed by the
State.
That leaves m.m 42-Malamahoa Highway. It was
uncertain how this portion would be financed.
With the Army purchasing the 24,000 acres for
the Stryker, it opened up the opportunity that this would be DAR financed too. But with
the already mentioned legal cloud- its made the latter an iffy proposition.
