An issue arose during the construction phase: TIZ: the City of Orange refused to allow the dump trucks to drive on Main Street, the nearest street to both the Blue River and the High School, a distance of c. 3/4 miles, but required the trucks to travel East on Rte 7 (Morris Drive) to the East end of Orange, and cross the CSX tracks and approach the school and dike installation site from the East rather than from the West, a distance of c. 2.5 miles, one-way.
