I kind of understand why, but then again not really; if history has taught us anything, it's that SWCRR agreements and decisions are never just around the corner.
See this article from 1985. Apparently the negotiations were settled, and the road is approved! lol

This goes to show how ridiculous inflation has affected construction costs. Sure the $100M estiamte is from 30 years ago and the design spec is probably considerably higher now, but still scary to see $100M turn into a several billion over a period of time when the CPI has averaged around 2%.
