Question & Answer Sessions: Number of Lanes

January 2009

The CRC project held two question and answer sessions on the number of add/drop lanes in the project area.

These sessions provided attendees with opportunities to:

• Learn about add/drop lane purpose and potential safety, traffic and environmental effects of the eight, 10, and 12 lane scenarios
• Hear how decisions will be made for the number of add/drop lanes
• Ask questions
• Provide thoughts to project staff

A replacement I-5 bridge will have three “through” lanes in each direction and up to three lanes in each direction to connect interchanges in the five-mile project area. These connector lanes are known as add/drop or auxiliary lanes. No add/drop lanes are proposed north or south of the project area (SR 500 to Columbia Boulevard).
