摘要: |
Mannsdale road is located west of the city of Madison, northwest of Jackson, Mississippi. The road is about 8 mi long and is currently two lanes wide. Land use shifts from light commercial to existing and developing suburban areas to rural, low density residential and agricultural uses. The project area includes a former plantation and two 150-year-old church congregations. The Mississippi Department of Transportation has chosen to implement and develop context-sensitive design (CSD) solutions by utilizing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. Currently, a multidisciplinary project team and the public have reached general consensus and are advancing two build alternatives through the NEPA process. Among the CSD issues addressed are increasing the efficiency of traffic movements on the current route between Route 22 and Interstate 55; serving the travel needs of developing land uses as well as future developments in this quickly growing area; improving the safety of the community and the traveling public; and providing a transportation corridor that meets the needs of the community as well as the needs of the through traffic. |
