The proposed 5.8-mile project will include:

• Converting an existing two-lane roadway to a four-lane freeway facility with ramps
• One-way frontage roads
• Grade separations over intersecting cross streets and railroad
• Bike and pedestrian accommodations

Although additional right-of-way would be required, no residential or non-residential structures are anticipated to be displaced at this time.
