Lemmon Drive Segment 2

Lemmon Drive Project Logo

Project Description

The Lemmon Drive Improvements and Resiliency Project Segment 2 extends from Fleetwood Drive to Ramsey Way and includes traffic improvements and provides resiliency for the roadway and community. The existing Lemmon Drive alignment is located below the 100-year floodplain; however, this project will raise the roadway to mitigate potential future flooding impacts. In addition, the project will improve safety and multimodal connectivity by constructing bike lanes and a separated multiuse path.

An alternatives analysis and preliminary engineering was completed in the fall of 2022. The preferred alternative is comprised of a new roadway alignment along a natural berm just west of the existing alignment. The relocation of the alignment with an elevated roadway surface will address flooding concerns the community has experienced in recent years while also providing connectivity for various modes of travel. The preliminary cost estimate for Segment 2 is approximately $39 million and will be refined as the environmental process and design progresses.
