Phase 1 Overview

All access will be restricted on the new 2-lane facility between SR99 and Dakota Avenue. Access on Dakota Ave will be similar to that which exists today. This project also includes improvements to 5th Street and 6th Street with improved connections to SR-99, including adding a new connection to Needham Street.  Some sections of SR 132 will be constructed below grade (depressed roadway sections), as shown in blue on the project exhibit. Roadway drainage will include a pump station, roadside bioswales, infiltration basins, and retention/detention basins to accommodate storm runoff from the new facility. 

The following features are included in the Phase 1 Project: 

• A two lane east-west SR 132 alignment from Needham Street to Dakota Avenue. 
• A two lane north-south temporary SR 132 alignment from Maze Blvd to new SR 132 on Dakota Avenue. The design team is currently exploring a center turn lane for this section. 
• A stop controlled intersection at Dakota and SR 132 (near Kansas). 
• A stop controlled intersection at Dakota and SR 132 (Maze), (to be reviewed for possible signalization pending analysis). 
• A bridge overcrossing of the new SR 132 freeway at Rosemore Avenue to carry local traffic and utilities. 
• A new pump station at Rosemore Avenue to lift stormwater from the depressed SR 132 to storm water basins. 
• A landscape Gateway Feature at Rosemore or Carpenter. 
• An overcrossing of the new SR132 freeway at Carpenter Road to carry local traffic and utilities.
• There are 3 contaminated soil stockpiles that will be encapsulated with clean cover or roadway pavement sections. 
• A new extension of Needham Street and Overcrossing of SR 99. 
• A new signal at the SR 132/Franklin Street/Needham Street/6th Street intersection. 
• A 1-lane extension of 6th Street to intersection with SR 132 and Needham Street. 
• Minor modifications to the northbound on-ramp to SR 99 from 6th Street. 
• A 1-lane SR 132 Southbound extension to 5th Street. 
• Signal Modifications at the new SR 132 southbound extension/L Street/5th Street intersection.

Current Activities

Surveying

Land surveyors will be on site performing detailed design and right of way surveys. These detailed surveys record the existing features to ensure an accurate and comprehensive design is prepared. 

Utility Assessments

The design team is meeting with all affected utility companies to identify their facilities and any conflicts to be resolved during the design. 

Right of Way

The surveyors, designers and right of way team are working to identify impacts to adjacent parcels along the right of way. An exhibit to show proposed acquisition areas will be added to this site with a future update.

Frequently Asked Questions

What will the Phase 1 Project do with the soil stockpiles?

The project will encapsulate the existing stockpiles in their current location. Encapsulation will occur by building the new highway pavement section over the stockpile, covering the stockpile with new clean fill material and containing the stockpile behind retaining walls. 

Will the intersection be signalized at North Dakota Avenue and SR 132 (Maze)?

The design team will evaluate the intersection using a strict quantitative process to determine if it will be stop controlled or signal controlled. Our findings will be presented in future website updates. 

​Will the Phase 1 Project include soundwalls?

Yes, but only in certain locations and not the entire corridor. The soundwall locations are shown on project exhibit.
