I-16 @ CR 310/OLD RIVER RD-INTERCHANGE; INC WIDENING OLD RVR

complete

Proposed project will widen and improve the I-16/Old River Rd interchange. The project proposes to widen the existing two-lane roadway and bridge on Old River Rd to a four-lane divided highway with a 20' raised median. Left-turn lanes and right-turn lanes (12' wide) would be provided at major intersections and major commercial drives. The roadway would have 10' rural shoulders on both sides (6.5' paved with a 2'rumble strip adjacent to the edge of travel lane). The interchange at I-16 would remain a diamond interchange; however, the ramps would be reconstructed to meet the geometric design speed of 45 mph. The reconstructed 16' wide off-ramps would be widened to provide two 12' left-turn lanes and one 12' right-turn lane on the eastbound ramp approach to Old River Rd. The westbound ramp approach to Old River Rd would have two 12' left-turn lanes and two 12' right-turn lanes. Total length=0.27 mile. Scheduled Management Let Date=7-18.
