instead of those drivers having to take
only 95 they are gonna have this option
as well to take a shortcut and use
Benton Boulevard the Benton Boulevard

making it is finally in the process
where they are removing trees and
getting ready to start building the road
according to Pamela Bernard who is the
senior transportation engineer for Chad
County it is estimated to be completed
about a year and a half from now so the
estimated completion date is September
of 2020 the Bend Boulevard extension
project has been
by the voter-approved special-purpose
Local Option Sales Tax or SPLOST this
project is estimated at 10.5 million
dollars and was approved a long time ago

project they are now starting to
actually get to work on this project

ready to start building the roads if you
