“We have updated our preferred concept based on continued engineering work and community input,” project manager CarrieAnn Hewitt said in a Thursday news release. “We appreciate the community’s interest in this project and the feedback we have received so far.”

Since the last public meeting in Fall 2023, the project team has updated design plans to include widening U.S. 95, building interchanges, constructing underpasses and updating the frontage road network.

ITD’s plans for U.S. 95 builds on two extensive environmental studies from 1999 and 2010 between Garwood and the Long Bridge. Both studies have since resulted in numerous construction projects.
