Cost of Halting Western Bypass a $50-Million Question

Albemarle County

“For Albemarle County’s incoming supervisors, it’s the $50-million question. That group could help pull the plug on the long-debated Western Bypass of U.S. 29, but at what cost? So far, more than $50 million in state and federal money has been invested in the project, and the state could demand that money back, said Sarah Rhodes, the program coordinator for the Charlottesville-Albemarle Metropolitan Planning Organization. But where that money might come from, or whether the state would even make the demand, is still unclear, Rhodes said.”
