Welcometo the US-95 Granite North Open House

US-95 Granite North Safety Improvements95 Open House - July 31, 2018

The project is a part of the US-95 Garwood to Sagle Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in summer 2010 and is a continuation of the project completed south of Granite Hill.

This project will improve safety and mobility on US-95 near Granite Hill by:

• Constructing continuous frontage roads on both sides of US-95

• Potentially expanding US-95 to two lanes in both directions.

• Realigning the Trails End Road intersection.

The improvements mostly follow the existing alignment of US-95.
