Project Title & Location
SR 503/Lewisville Park Vic - Add Climbing Lane

Project Description
The 2.4 mile section of SR 503 from NW Onsdorff Boulevard to NE 132nd Avenue experiences back-ups due to high truck volumes and steep grades. By constructing a truck climbing lane, the project will reduce back-ups on this section of SR 503, increasing the flow of traffic.

Design Construction Impacts
Climbing lanes are being developed for both the northbound and southbound directions. The only right of way needed is for wetland mitigation.
|
|
Environmental Impacts / Compliance
The environmental documentation is in process. The Biological Assessment is ongoing along with the cultural and archeological investigation; additional archeological investigation was required at SR 503/244th due to some cultural discoveries. Wetland impacts have been determined; evaluating different mitigation sites.

Impacts to Traffic
Design team will develop construction reviews and attempt to minimize traffic impacts as much as possible.
