Despite the protests, the village of Nichols gained a $4,100 check to deposit as part of the connection of storm sewers along NY 282 for the project in May 1963. In October 1963, the state of New York announced the opening of bids on the project, which involved the construction of a bridge across Wappasening Creek, along with blacktopping the full stretch. The state totaled the project at around $644,000. The contract was given to the Dalrymple Gravel & Contracting Company at the cost of $603,667. The project was given a slated completion date of June 1, 1965.
