 Access Management Plan
• The SH 9 corridor has an Access Management Plan which provides
guidance for agency review regarding access permit applications and
future access decisions. The plan should preserve and support the
current and future functional integrity of the highway. The purpose of
the access management plan is to achieve:
• Improved traffic flow
• Improved traffic safety
• Reduced traffic conflicts
• Provisions for appropriate access to adjacent land uses
• In some cases, driveway access may be limited to a right-in and a
right-out onto the highway. This may impact driver behavior patterns
and generate use of U-turns at designated breaks in the median.
• A copy of the Access Management Plan is provided on the table
below.

 New Highway Widening

4-Lane, Depressed Median Typical Section

4-Lane, Raised Median with Curb and Gutter Typical Section

(Urban Sections)

• Maintenance of traffic during construction is a major concern.

The highway is being designed so that two-way traffic can be
maintained on a paved surface.

• Grades and alignments are being maximized so that the majority

of the construction can be accomplished adjacent to the existing
highway, and then traffic will be transferred over to a completed
section while upgrading the old roadway surface.
