EXISTING ROADWAY

  • Two, 12-foot driving lanes
  • Posted 55 MPH
  • No shoulders
  • Steep side slopes
  • Inadequate cross-slopes
  • Skewed intersections with

poor sight distances

  • Poor bridge box condition
  • High accident rate

BACKGROUND SCOPE ENVRIONMENTAL DESIGN

Skewed, dangerous intersection No shoulders & steep slope Skewed, dangerous intersection, poor sight distance Deteriorating bridge

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS

BACKGROUND SCOPE ENVRIONMENTAL DESIGN

Roadway Widening

  • 11-foot driving lanes
  • Add 3 ½ -foot shoulders
  • Add 11-foot center turn lane
  • Improve safety slopes
  • Correct drainage issues
  • Ditches
  • Cross-drains

Roadway widening will match and tie into previous project at the beginning.

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS

BACKGROUND SCOPE ENVRIONMENTAL DESIGN

Curve Modifications

  • Current curves do not have

adequate cross-slope for the design speed.

  • Increased cross-slopes will be

utilized on these curves to comply with new design standards.

  • These modifications will allow

for a safer and more comfortable drive.

EXISTING CROSS-SLOPE NEW CROSS-SLOPE

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS

BACKGROUND SCOPE ENVRIONMENTAL DESIGN

Reinforced Concrete Box (RCB)

  • Replaces deteriorated bridge box over East

Branch of Briggs Creek

  • Wider bridge to improve traffic safety

Offset Alignment at End of Project

  • 8-foot offset to north
  • Only at east end of project, rest of

project to remain on existing alignment

  • Avoids cemetery
  • Minimized right-of-way necessary

DURING CONSTRUCTION

BACKGROUND SCOPE ENVRIONMENTAL DESIGN

  • US-62 will remain open during construction.
  • Utilize temporary pavement detour at east end of project during
  • ffset and phased bridge construction.
  • Access will be maintained to all residences & businesses.
