摘要：	The Smith Creek Parkway project of 7-plus miles has been a priority since 1972 with the original environmental impact study of alternatives being completed in the 1970s. The project was divided into four sections and the two eastern most sections (C and D) were designed, constructed, and opened to traffic. However, the two western most sections (A and B) required further alternative investigation in final design to minimize impacts. Sections C and D are six lanes with median. The alignment and designs for sections A and B were altered significantly to minimize environmental impacts. The alignment for sections A and B had to take into consideration a myriad of issues and has resulted in a controlled-access four-lane divided facility which bridges a significant amount of wetland. Context-sensitive design issues included wetlands avoidance/mitigation, noise and vibration avoidance, hazardous waste and hazardous materials storage/distribution avoidance, railway corridor accommodation, historical area mitigation/enhancement, and protecting a 75-year-old magnolia tree.
