The project for this section of Route 22 was let on December 16, 2004.  Golden Triangle, Inc. was the low bidder and was awarded the project for a contract amount of $43,877,812.

Approximately 4.1 miles of Route 22 will be widened as a part of this section of Route 22. From just east of the Cozy Inn Cut-Off to the Route 22/66 interchange, Route 22 will be widened to provide 4 traffic lanes with a median divider. Openings in the median will be provided to allow for left turn lanes at intersections. 

Construction activities are expected to slow traffic in the project area, especially during peak traffic times. No detours are planned, and access to local businesses and residences will be maintained during construction.
