The proposed project is approximately 17 miles in length, will consist of four lanes and will be constructed on new location. The project would initially construct two 12-foot-wide travel lanes with 8-foot-wide inside shoulders and 10-foot-wide outside shoulders. The remaining two lanes would be constructed as funding becomes available. This permit review will evaluate the impacts for the four-lane project as well as the proposed wetland and stream mitigation for all impacts.
