Project Description
This project will re-route a section of McNeil Canyon Rd north of its existing alignment. The new segment will create a much safer road with appropriate sight distance, the elimination of a dangerous curves, and a reduced grade to 9.4%. Douglas County proposes the placement of 8-inches of crushed surfacing base course, 4-inches of crushed surfacing top course, and 3-inches of hot mix asphalt with a surface width of 30-feet. The new roadway will consist of 11-foot travel lanes with 4-foot shoulders, along with additional lane widening through the 2,000-foot horizontal curves. Vertical and horizontal alignment will be resolved at substandard locations bringing them up to compliance with AASHTO standards for a 50 mph paved, rural roadway. Guardrail to be installed where appropriate.
