Future Projects

CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS UPDATE:

 

The following local roadway projects will be constructed in 2008:

 

McMillan and Linder Intersection: Reconstruction and widening of intersection, including a new signal.  Project will construct a six lane approach on Linder and a four lane approach on McMillan.

 

McMillan and Ten Mile Intersection: Reconstruction and widening of intersection, including a new signal.  Project will construct a four lane approach on McMillan, and a five lane approach on Ten Mile.

 

The following local roadway projects are programmed for construction in 2009:

Note: Due to construction cost escalations, ACHD anticipates approximately $16 million in overprogrammed projects in 2009.  In order to balance the budget, ACHD will have to delay some projects currently programmed for construction in 2009.  To provide input about the projects that are top priorities for you, please contact Andrew O’Connor, ACHD Five Year Work Plan Coordinator – .

 

Eagle, Victory to Ridenbaugh: Widen roadway to five lanes, including curb, gutter, sidewalk, and bike lanes, and construct intersection improvements at Eagle and Victory, and Eagle and Easy Jet.

 

Main/Meridian, I-84 to Franklin – Split Corridor Phase 1: Project will construct the southern portion of the Split Corridor, including the reconstruction of the Main/Waltman/Meridian/Central intersection.  Phase 2 is programmed to proceed in 2012.

 

Ten Mile, Franklin to Cherry: Project will widen roadway to five lanes including curb, gutter, sidewalks, and bike lanes.  Project includes signalization and intersection improvements at Ten Mile and Franklin, and Ten Mile and Pine.

 

Ustick and Linder Intersection: New signalization and intersection widening to six lanes by six lanes.

 

Believe it or not, roadway projects are often years in the making by the time the dirt actually begins to turn.  Depending on the source of funds, relatively simple road projects can take anywhere from three to five years or more to secure all the necessary environmental and other clearances, purchase right-of-way, design the facility, and construct the project.  Timelines tend to extend with more complex projects.  This page provides background on how typical road projects move from concept to construction, and points users toward several documents that outline how road improvements will unfold in the future.
