State Route 315 Project Information

 

FIRST PHASE COMPLETE

The first phase of the SR 315 construction project is complete ahead of schedule!

Crews began work in June 2009 on a $24 million project to improve eight bridges and three miles of SR 315 between I-670 and Ackerman Road. Throughout the summer, both directions of traffic used the southbound lanes to allow construction to proceed on the northbound lanes. Pictures and video of the construction are located to the right.

Traffic will remain in the normal pattern through the winter.  Construction will resume in June 2010 when crews will begin work on the southbound lanes.

Preliminary information on next year's construction is available by clicking here. This website will continue to provide information on the construction project and ways for motorists to Beat the Barrel...Follow the Game Plan!
