Just don't forget that there will be costs not related to construction both before and after.
Some of them are onetime costs, not related to mileage like planning, permits and the like. This is one reason costs are all over the map, because it depends on how many miles you can spread fixed prebuild costs. Others are ongoing costs which will keep eating at you, even after you finish construction. Various reporting requirements and paperwork, locates, repairs, maintenance, etc. Even when you have a brand new plant you have to budget for OPEX.
