Project Need and Purpose

Existing US 59 within the project area does not meet criteria for an Interstate. The criteria includes:

  • Controlled access – access to main lanes only allowed via ramps
  • Roadway Geometrics - horizontal curvature and grades to meet 70mph

design speed

  • Main lane shoulders - minimum 4-foot inside shoulder and 10-foot
  • utside width
  • 30-foot horizontal clear zone requirements

Projec ect N Need eed Projec ect P Purpo pose

Bring US 59 between Shepherd and Cleveland up to current interstate design standards providing system connectivity, enhanced safety, increased mobility and a more efficient hurricane evacuation route.
