Requires publication of a cost estimate and project completion date for any work on the state highway system at the time bidding for a contract on the work first closes

HB 239 requires state highway departments to publicly post a project's estimated cost and completion date when bidding for new highway construction, maintenance, or repair contracts closes. This applies directly to state highway authorities and contractors bidding on state road projects. The bill mandates this information be published on the official public website at the exact moment bidding closes, providing transparency for all bidders. It creates a concrete requirement for timely disclosure of key project details before contracts are awarded. The law aims to improve clarity in the bidding process without altering project scope or funding.
