The proposed project would consist of the widening of Abernathy Road from State Route (SR) 9 (Roswell Road) to SR 400. The project includes the addition of one travel lane and a bike lane in each direction with a twenty-foot median. The existing roadway consists of two travel lanes in each direction with a varying median width. The proposed roadway section will consist of three travel lanes with a twenty-foot raised median with thirty-foot curb and gutter and an eight-foot sidewalk on both sides of the roadway (see attached location map). Existing right-of-way is 100 feet. Proposed right-of-way would be 180 feet. The APE for the proposed project would include the areas within the proposed right-of-way and the viewshed of the proposed project (refer to attached graphic). No potential for indirect effects outside this corridor is anticipated as a result of implementation of the proposed project. No additional access to the existing facility would be provided and existing access to the facility would either be maintained or modified. The project would only increase the capacity of the existing roadway to meet anticipated future demand.
