The project is approximately 1.8 miles in length and is located on I-80 in Douglas County, starting approximately just west of the bridges carrying I-80 over 50th Street and extending east to approximately just west of the bridges carrying I-80 over the I-480 on ramp. Construction may begin and/or end approximately 500 feet ahead of or beyond the actual project limits to accommodate transitioning the pavement.

 

The existing roadway on this segment of I-80 generally consists of 12-foot-wide composite lanes that vary in number from seven to three, in both eastbound and westbound directions, and 12-foot-wide outside shoulders, of which 12 feet is paved in the westbound direction and 10 feet is paved in the eastbound direction, with composite surfacing, and 12.5’-foot-wide composite inside shoulders.
