What's Being Done
The Washington Boulevard Bridge over Columbia Pike will be replaced and the interchange improved in terms of safety and aesthetics. A wider typical section on Columbia Pike will accommodate elements shown in the Revitalization Plan.Route 27 and 244 Interchange Presentation
Benefits
The overall benefits include improved SAFETY, MOBILITY, and AESTHETICS for all users of the interchange – including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and accommodations for future Streetcar, as well as a new bridge to replace the current one.
Features
Columbia Pike to have 4 - 11’ lanes, a left-turn lane onto Ramp A, 4’ bike lanes, 10’ path, and 7’ sidewalk; acceleration/ deceleration lanes on Rt. 27 for ramps B and F; removal of Ramp C; all without taking Right of Way from residences.
Why is this road being built?
This 1940’s Single-Span Rigid Concrete Bridge is rated as “Poor” in recent Structural Inspection Reports, meaning the concrete elements are in poor condition but are sufficiently capable of carrying traffic without restriction or risk to the public.Contacts
