Phase 3: Original Eight Alternatives to Current Advanced Alternatives
In 2010, the alternatives detailed here were advanced and refined from the original eight alternatives developed following rigorous evaluation, modeling and input from stakeholders. These four alternatives best address all aspects of the Need and Purpose statement: better management and minimization of traffic congestion, maintenance and improvement of system linkages, improvements to mobility options for the traveling public, and provisions for safer travel conditions along the corridor. Additional analysis of the four alternatives advanced is currently under development.
 Current Status of Project
In 2011, project engineers and environmental specialists assessed environmental impacts that could result from the I-285 top end alternatives currently under consideration. As a result, many historic houses and districts, as well as parkland were identified as Section 4(f) resources under the National Environmental Policy Act. As a result, design engineers worked to reduce the footprints of the alternatives and to update project costs.
The most up-to-date versions of the Alternatives are posted below. We anticipate additional detail in 2012. |
