I-44/US-75 Interchange Reconstruction

WP 5

Work Package 5

◀ Homepage

Work Package 5 includes the following improvements:

  • Widening of US-75 from north of the I-44 bridges to just south of W. 41st Street 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.  This will include new bridges over the new W. 51st Street extension, W. 49th Street, and W. 46th Street.

  • Reconstruct the I-44 westbound to US-75 northbound ramp.

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

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

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

  • Reconstruct the I-44 eastbound to US-75 northbound loop ramp.

  • Reconstruct and extend W. 51st Street from S. Tacoma Avenue east under US-75 to just east of S. Indian Avenue.

  • Work Packages 2 and 5 will be constructed together.
