Amarillo Canyon Expressway Costs To Be State Funded
The Amarillo-Canyon Expressway costs will largely be borne by the State of Texas with Amarillo facing about 3.85 million dollars for right of way and storm sewers. Randall County may pay 0.5 to 0.75 million, Potter County costs are not yet estimated but expected smaller, and some city expense covers drainage needs already not provided for. The storm sewer bill arises from insufficient prior drainage planning near the route. The Texas State Highway Commission proposes to fund construction with state money.
