Description : There is another component to the proposed work on the Holland Marsh and that is the life-safety aspect. This is to address the deaths and near-fatal accidents that have occurred on the winding, narrow and dangerous Canal Road. Right now there is a preferred $11.935 million option to the other $17.8 million option. This option would relocate most of the canal, dredge the remainder, and install two guide rails in two areas. This option also won't widen the roadway but will create a 10' wide shoulder to provide a comfort level between farm vehicles and commuters. Once the issues of approvals and funding are cleared up construction can begin and will take an estimated 7years to complete.
