DELIVERING

THE PROJECT

• Traditional funding

method =

construction in 2040

or later

Value for Money

Study (VfM) –

Opt ions Ana lys i s

• Reviews current and future costs of project along with evaluation of current design (Value Engineering)

• Explores project delivery

options for construction of a new corridor

• Study should show which

delivery option is most cost-effective
