Delay and Lawsuit
In 2009 Anchorage Metro Area Transportation Solutions (AMATS) decided to postpone the project and remove it from Anchorage's short term transportation plan until 2018. The cities of Houston and Wasilla responded with a lawsuit because AMATS did not have the authority to delay the project, which is a National Highway System route. In March 2010, the AMATS Policy Committee with new members, reversed their previous decision and re-instated the bridge into the short term transportation plan.

Famous quotes containing the word delay:
“Face troubles from their birth, for ‘tis too late to cure
When long delay has given the evil strength.
Haste then; postpone not to the coming hour: tomorrow
He’ll be less ready who’s not ready now.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
