SR 539 ProjectRISKS• Coordination with border agencies: CBP/ GSA & CBSA,
could prolong important design decisions.
• Limited Access Process – appeals could impact project schedule.
• ROW acquisition – Unwilling seller.
• Roadway Section – may need to construct the entire truck lane in PCCP concrete. Scoping estimate assumes HMA south of spur.
