Highway to Nowhere Blue Route drains funds and patience
In Philadelphia area grim budget numbers show the Blue Route Interstate 476 project has cost taxpayers 72 million so far with another 1 million for an environmental study and potentially 144 million more to finish. Delays, environmental rules, and legal challenges complicate a road planned since 1928. The six lane 21.5 mile link from Plymouth Meeting to near Chester has only 13 miles built and faces ongoing disputes over property, taxes, and a 1974 federal park lawsuit.
