Summary:"When you go to the North Central Alabama Regional Council of Governments, it's still on the report they give out once or twice a year, but it's a real low priority," [Ray Metzger] said. "I wasn't for it because there's not much traffic on that two-lane section of road." "I don't think the funding is in danger," [Dewayne Hellums] said.

"I don't anticipate having continuous construction conditions like we currently have, but I see substantial completion in 2008 with possible carryover into 2009."
