Washington Pike from I-640 to Murphy Road Project
Designer: CDM Smith, Inc.
Projected Bid Date: Winter 2025
The design plans for this project were previously completed up to the right-of-way acquisition phase for the original proposed five-lane typical section. In 2018, the project was put on hold because of funding constraints. In 2020, the project designer was asked to perform an analysis of the proposed project limits with a specific focus on traffic and pedestrian safety. This analysis resulted in a proposed design where the width of the road and the number of lanes will fluctuate based on a blend of traffic counts, crash data, and engineering best practices. In the current design, Washington Pike will remain five lanes on the western end of the project area, where Greenway Drive ties in near the Target store. Washington Pike will narrow to three lanes by New Harvest Lane, then expand back to five lanes, including a turn lane, at Steeple Shadow Way and Babelay Road and continue in that configuration to the City limits at Murphy Road. There, turn lanes will carry traffic onto Murphy or Pullman Roads, and Washington Pike to the east will continue in its current two lanes. Along the project corridor, two 10-foot multi-use pedestrian and bicycle paths will be built, which will connect to existing parks and greenways.
