What's being proposed?
The project is located at the interchange of Elm Avenue with I-581 in Roanoke. The purpose of this project is to relieve congestion along Elm Avenue and at the intersections of Elm Avenue with the northbound and southbound off ramps from I-581. This will be accomplished by the addition of one lane to both off ramps from I-581 and extending the left turn lane in each direction on Elm Avenue.
Extending the left turn lanes will require the widening of two bridges on Elm Avenue: the bridge over I-581 and the bridge over the Norfolk and Southern Railroad tracks. The existing substandard vertical clearance over I-581 will be addressed as part of this project.
Project updates
A citizen information meeting was held January 2010. Here's a link to the meeting brochure: Elm Avenue brochure.
The procurement of a design-build contractor/design team to complete final design, acquire right of way and construct the interchange is currently underway.
