How much does it cost to pave a mile of road? 20 years ago when the price worked out to about a million a mile - we were all shocked. But, the experts will tell you that with drainage and weather resilient surfaces it can be a whole lot more than that.
Most recently, the 44 million dollar "Expansion and Rehabilitation of The Phillip Goldson Highway Mile 8 to 24.5" works out to about 2.6 million dollars per mile.
By comparison, the Coastal Highway - with its major bridges and 10 foot culverts was about 4.4million dollars per mile.
In our interview with the Chief Engineer at MIDH he told us that for this latest project there were other costs and expenses to take into account aside from the construction of the road itself. He explained what those were.
The rehabilitation of the PGH is phase 2 or a continuation of the last project which re-surfaced from mile 24 to the Corozal border. |
