"We have contracts for five projects south of State Road 46, a total of 16.9 miles, at an expenditure of $8,225,000," he said. THE ASSISTANT district engineer explained that the time limit for the completion of the projects has been set at 330 to 375 days. "This time limit we can be sure of," said Hanna, "since through exper ience we know that only 12 out of more than 100 con tractors have exceeded the required time." Explaining to Kiwanians the reason for the roads location in relation to Sanford and DeLand, Hanna said "the shortest distance between two points was the criteria and many of the tentative lo cations had to be set ud be fore even aerial photographs were obtained.

"We moved the bridge to its present location because when it was originally planned for a site closer to Sanford we found that the bridge would be more out in Lake Monroe and that we had to span 12 ACL trunk line rails," he said. "WE THINK we have done well to get so much under way," said Hanna as he ex plained that the first street widening project will be timed with the completion of the bridge construction. The road man told Sanford Kiwanians that the southern extension of Hwy. 17-92 to Lee Rd. "is now in its final planning stages." However, he said that there is no planning for the four-laning of Hwy.
