' 4 The 12-mile relocation will go south'of Hillsboro and will be built dual lane with limited access con trol to meet interstate highway re quirements. ' ■ . ■ - It is estimated that the total cost of the 12-mile length, including survey and acquisition of propert> right-of-way will total about 3^2 ’inillion dollars. Plans are being jnade to com plete the survey and to acquire right-of-way. How long it requires to obtain right-of-way will depend on the attitude and resistance of property owners. •‘We hope to be able to call fur bids within the next year,” de clared a spokesman. - Two cases now pending in the courts could have an effect on the acojisition of the right-of-way. The lower courts have held in the two eases that tho Highway"Curn missum ..has the mtiih-iritu. t« Tuir^ property by condemnation for use in building highways to limited access standards. The new dual lane highway, will tie on the new singly lane of a proposed dual lane from F.fland to Greensboro, a distance of 36 miles. Money is available to build the] second lane from Efland totlreens boro and on the west end bypass at Durham. He added that the commission hopes to carry through with plans to open bids on those j two projects early next year. Th" Highway Engineering De partment originally proposed an’ interim prm&t for an additional lane to the' Hillsboro iinK on the present location without control of access. ' ;ty‘, „ ;' • t The committee was to deter- j mine whether,to relocate the pres-1 ent 70 at Hillsboro and build it to1 limited access standards or to build the road squth of Hillsboro, j It will be one mile shorter than ] the present route and in the long ( run, the spoltgsrtian added, “This j will mean a lot of- saving to mo-. torists."
