For the SR 400 Express Lanes project, elevated lanes are necessary but limited to select locations including access points and to bring the express lanes from the outside of the general purpose lanes to the inside of the general purpose lanes. As part of our alternatives analysis, the amount of required elevated lanes has been reduced. As part of the design process, the project team is reviewing the corridor to assess where elevated lanes are needed and in an attempt to minimize the number of locations.

Comments were received seeking justification for additional stormwater detention ponds along the project. Safety concerns were raised regarding stream realignments, pedestrian access to proposed stormwater retention ponds, and potential mosquitos near the ponds.
Why are the express lanes not elevated for the entire project?
