Playas Road Benefit Cost Analysis Shows Mixed Prospects
Highway officials compared a paved Playas road with a gravel option using annualized figures. The paved project estimates 1,013 cars daily in 1997 for benefits of $799,168 against construction costs of $11.7 million, yielding a 0.72 cost ratio and a note that right of way costs are not included. The gravel alternative shows $619,908 in annual benefits with $6.5 million in construction costs, a yearly $613,554, and a 1.01 ratio, suggesting slightly higher benefits than costs.
