Delayed Projects
A project can be cancelled if it does not make sufficient
progress toward construction. Delays usually are a result
of insufficient right of way to construct the project, insufficient
funding, loss of local support, constructability issues, non-attainable
environmental clearance, and conflicts with other planned
improvements, to name a few.
Funds for cancelled projects will be placed into the State
or Local funding category for future project awards. The project
sponsor must reimburse ADOT and Federal Highway Administration
for federal-aid design funds on projects that are cancelled.
More about delayed projects can be found in the document
TERC Annual Project Review Process at the
Project
Development Documents Web page.
