DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE (DNS)
Description of current proposal:
SR 17 Passing Lanes and SR 17 and SR 282 Widening Project:
The SR 17 passing lanes is an interim step in the overall widening project. The passing lanes include roadway widening for northbound and southbound passing lanes on SR 17. Several existing culverts will be extended and new ditches will be constructed where required by cut slopes. Bituminous Surface Treatment (chip seal) will be applied to the entire length of the project. All work will be conducted within existing right-of-way.
The widening of SR 17 and SR 282 is not currently funded for design or construction. The widening will widen 16 miles of existing roadway from two to four lanes, including 11 miles of SR 17 and 5 miles of SR 282. The existing intersections within the project area will be upgraded to accommodate increased traffic volumes and the widened roadway. A barrier-separated roadway section is proposed for the urban ends of the alignment in Moses Lake and Ephrata. The larger rural section in the center of the corridor will have a wider ditch median without a barrier. Other major elements of the project include the construction of retaining walls and stormwater drainage facilities, installation and relocation of utilities, acquisition of additional right-of-way, intersection illumination, and cut and fill slopes.
Proponent:
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
