I-205 IMPROVEMENTS

Project Issues & Benefits

Issues

• This two-lane section of I-205 creates a bottleneck, causing congestion and crashes, creating delays.

• Closely spaced on-ramps contribute to safety and travel-time predictability issues.

• The Abernethy Bridge and eight bridge sites are seismically vulnerable in the event of a major earthquake.

Benefits

• The addition of a third lane in each direction helps prevent bottlenecks.

• Extending the I-205 northboundon-ramp across the Abernethy Bridge increases safety and travel-time predictability.

• Seismically upgrading the Abernethy Bridge and replacing eight bridge sites in the project area ensures bridges can better withstand a major earthquake.
