The California Transportation Commission voted Thursday to provide the approximate $60 million needed to construct a scaled-back, two-lane version of the Willits bypass. “It’s over,” Mendocino Council of Governments Executive Director Phil Dow said. “We got the funding. The construction for the first phase will proceed.” City of Willits Mayor Tami Jorgensen said she’s glad community members can finally move on. “It’s been weighing on our folks’ minds for so long, that’s the relief that I’m feeling right now -- that people can have those questions answered. I’m also awfully glad that Willits will finally own a portion of our main street,” Jorgensen said. According to Dow, the project should go to bid in early 2010 and begin construction the same year. Completion of a two-lane bypass is projected in 2014.
