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.

A Corridor Analysis was completed, and the majority of the design documentation is expected to be complete in 2008.
The only Right of Way required is for the wetland mitigation site, and that appraisal process is nearly complete.

Environmental Impacts / Compliance
The environmental documentation is in process. The Biological Assessment is complete 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, and we have nearly completed the mitigation site.
