Verona Rd./US 18/151 - Solution alternatives

The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) identified an Urban Roadway concept and a Freeway concept for the Madison South Verona Road corridor, including the Beltline interchange.

• Urban Roadway concept
• Freeway concept

As noted on the home page, both concepts have been thoroughly re-analyzed and a new three-stage solution has been defined. The three stages incorporate and significantly improve upon elements of both the urban and freeway concepts presented in the DEIS. Impacts and costs have been re-estimated as part of the reanalysis and are included in the Supplemental DEIS (SDEIS) and the Final EIS (FEIS).

The FEIS presents the Preferred Alternative that was documented in the SDEIS with several refinements that respond to comments received during the SDEIS availability period. These refinements include:

• Expanding the Whitney Way westbound off-ramp to two lanes and adding a parallel lane to the Whitney Way eastbound on-ramp and westbound on-ramp.
• Reconstructing the Beltline beneath Seminole Highway to improve the substandard height on the Seminole Highway overpass.
• Modifying the jug-handle so that Allied Drive connects directly with the jug-handle and the West Frontage Road underneath Verona Road with a roundabout instead of connecting with Atticus
  Way.
• Adding a pedestrian underpass under Verona Road on the south side of the interchange.
• Relocating stormwater management basins from Dunn’s Marsh to just south of the former Cub Foods parking lot.
• Adding a parallel lane to the Seminole Highway eastbound onramp.
