Project Description
The primary purpose of this project is to beautify the landscape along the I-95 corridor between Hermitage Road and Franklin Street. This project also includes landscaping at the Nine Mile Road/I-64 interchange on the eastern border of Richmond at the Henrico County line. The landscaping will include improvements at approaches, entrances and exits along I-95 leading to the local streets. In addition, gateway or welcome signs may be included as sites to be determined.
Initial areas of concentration are the interchanges at Broad Street, Nine Mile Road, Belvidere Street and I-95/I-64 at 5th Street. Enhancements to the Broad Street interchange will begin in December 2011. The Nine Mile Road interchange enhancement is in the design phase. A citizen information meeting is planned for early 2012. Other phases will follow based on funding and local priorities.
Traffic Impacts
During construction, minimal traffic impacts are expected. Work will be performed within the existing right of way. No work will take place in the travel lanes.
