Corridor Options

• 

  Recommended Preferred Alternative

  • Using the information identified in the Alternatives Screening Document, along with discussions with the project team, project sponsors, and project partners, it is recommended that two southern alternatives and one northern alternative be carried forward into the environmental document for further evaluation and design.
  • Alternatives A3 and A2/A4 are the southern alternatives recommended while Alternative C2 is the northern alternative that is recommended.
• 

  Northern Alternatives

  Three northern alternatives are being considered between State Road 2 and State Road 39. The alternatives are briefly described below:

  • Severs Road: This alternative would involve upgrading and widening of the existing roadway facilities from the intersection of SR 39 and Severs Road, east towards CR 200 N, 0.22 mile east of Genesis Dive, and then the alternative curves southeast to tie into SR 2. The estimated length is 2.76 miles.
  • Alternative C1: This alternative would involve upgrading and widening of the existing roadway facilities from the intersection of SR 39 and CR 300 N, east to 0.36 mile west of CR 100 W. the alternative would then involve new roadway construction east to CR 50 W where it would then curve southeast and tie into SR 2. The estimated length is 3.68 miles.
  • Alternative C2: This alternative would involve new construction starting at SR 39, 0.22 mile south of I-90, east to CR 50 W. this alternative would then curve southeast and continue south to tie into SR 2. The estimated length is approximately 4.45 miles.
• 

  Southern Alternatives

  Five southern alternatives are being considered between US 35 and State Road 2. The alternatives are briefly described below:

  • Alternative A1: This alternative would involve new construction starting at SR 2, 0.24 mile east of Boyd Boulevard. The new construction will extend southwest for one mile and connect with existing Boyd Boulevard, 0.89 mile southeast of SR 2. This alternative would involve improvements to Boyd Boulevard until it ties into SR 2. The estimated length is 3.43 miles.
  • Alternative A2: This alternative would involve new construction starting at SR 2, 0.29 mile east of Boyd Boulevard. The new construction would extend southeast for 1.05 miles and then begin to curve southwest south of Division Road. The new construction would continue southwest for 1.4 miles and connect with existing Boyd Boulevard at the Stevens Road intersection. This alternative would then improve the remainder of Boyd Boulevard until its intersection with US 35. The estimated length of A2 is 3.81 miles.
  • Alternative A3: This alternative would involve new construction started at SR 2. The new construction would extend southeast for 0.9 mile and then begin to curve south, north of Division Road. The new construction would extend 1.16 miles south and then begin to curve southwest, 0.25 mile southwest of SR 4. The new construction would extend southwest to connect with US 35, 0.1 mile north of Boyd Boulevard. The estimated length of this alternative is 3.65 miles.
  • Alternative A2/A4: This alternative would involve new construction starting at SR 2. The new construction would extend southeast for 1.66 miles and then begin to curve southwest at Division Road. The new construction would extend southwest for 2.37 miles until it connects with US 35. The estimated length of A2/A4 is 4.03 miles.
  • Alternative A4: This alternative would involve new construction starting at SR 2. The new construction will extend southeast for 1.6 miles and then begin to curve southwest, 0.19 mile east of CR 150 E. The new construction will extend southwest for 1.7 miles and the begin to curve west, 0.06 mile south of Stevens Road. The project will then extend west until it connects to US 35, 0.37 mile south of Boyd Boulevard. The estimated length of A4 is 4.99 miles.
