Work Package 3 ▶

Work Package 2 includes the following improvements:

  • Widening of US-75 from approximately 3,000 feet north of W. 71st Street to I-44 to eight lanes (four lanes in each direction). Initially, US-75 will be striped for 3 lanes in each direction until the remainder of the corridor is widened to 8 lanes. 

  • Reconstruct the interchange at US-75 and W. 61st Street to include a new bridge on W. 61st Street over US-75 and reconfigured ramps. The new ramps will be relocated just outside the existing ramps.  The northbound US-75 on-ramp will be relocated to the new frontage road.

  • Reconstruct the I-44 eastbound to US-75 southbound ramp. This includes a new bridge over W. Skelly Drive and Mooser Creek.

  • Reconstruct the I-44 westbound to US-75 northbound ramp. This will include a new bridge over the extension of W. 51st Street.

  • Reconstruct the I-44 westbound to US-75 southbound ramp. This will be a flyover ramp bridge that will span over US-75 and I-44.  The existing loop ramp will be removed.

  • Reconstruct W. Skelly Drive from west of S. Union Avenue to US-75.

  • Work Packages 2 and 5 will be constructed together.
