2002 Cost to Complete Estimate Background

The completion of the Appalachian Development Highway system (ADHS) is currently being funded through Federal fiscal year 2003 from the Highway Trust Fund (HTF). The 2002 estimate will be used to determine the additional funding needs to complete the ADHS and also be used as the basis for apportioning funds to the Appalachian States.

Purpose of the Estimate

The significance of the estimate can not be underestimated. The estimate will contribute significantly in the drafting of continuing legislative support and will be utilized for such purposes by Congress, FHWA and ARC. Also, the estimate will be the basis for establishing apportionment factors for distributing funds to the Appalachian States based on the ADHS system construction needs.
