Where will the new lanes be constructed, and will additional rights-of-way or property be needed?
No additional rights-of-way or property acquisition is anticipated to be required to complete the project. The additional capacity will be constructed within the limits of the existing median. Due to the fact that this project has been planned for almost 30 years, the Town constructed the existing roadway to accommodate the additional lanes with minimal disruption.
No additional right-of-way will be required for the two new lanes because they will be constructed in the existing medians. However, intersection and safety improvements included in Phase 1 of the project will require additional right-of-way for items such as turn lanes, visibility clips, and structural elements. The Town has spent approximately $1.11 million on right-of-way acquisition for this project.
