Out of the five suggested routes, it appears route number three is most favorable so far.
Route number three will begin around Beach Access 5 and 6, which is north of the island, and end up bay side by Highway 510 and FM 106.
Authorities say the construction of this project is expected to be 8 miles long and cost about 5oo-million dollars.
Officials say they are still receiving written comments and all reviews will be considered.
The final details are expected to be announced late August.
