(RISING SUN, Ind.) -- The Link 101 Project Team is completing the Preliminary Alternatives Screening Report.

The report was scheduled to be complete this fall but is now expected to be final early next year

Project officials say the extension is due to the considerable number of comments and feedback on improving existing roads that was received during public meetings.

The screening report will include the new alternatives developed following public and agency input. Officials will identify the smaller group of alternatives for detailed analysis.

"It's during that detailed analysis that more information will be developed for each alternative including potential benefits, impacts and costs," officials said.

When the Preliminary Alternatives Screening Report is complete, it will be shared with the public. Public meetings and a comment period will follow.
