Project Design is Underway

The project team will use the recommended alignment from the 2010 Lone Tree Overpass Study and the 2020 Final Report Update as the initial design concept. This base concept will be refined, stakeholder coordination will occur, and the right-of-way impacts will be refined. The design will begin in phases and will progress as stakeholder agreements are obtained and design decisions are made with the public and stakeholders.
