What's up with Yelm's bypass highway

The bypass highway has been partly built for some years now, but still it is unfinished.

Money has been allocated to finish it but years have gone by and nothing has been done. During rush hours people use the road coming from Lacey and Tumwater, then they boil off the end of the road and there is steady stream of traffic through the residential district.

This is what the bypass was designed to stop. Why hasn't this project been completed? The money is there yet nothing is done. Is the problem with state or with the county?
