Project Overview
This segment of SH-80 is a two-lane roadway with 10-foot-wide driving lanes and no shoulders. Current traffic volumes on S. Wilson Lane are estimated at 320 total vehicles per day (VPD)/102 trucks per day and are projected to increase to 1,210 total VPD/387 trucks per day by 2043. This portion of SH-80 has deteriorating pavement, no shoulders, and goes through the Town of Hulbert to connect to SH-51.
The proposed improvement consists of adding shoulders, widening the driving lanes, and constructing a new bridge on a new alignment. The new roadway will have two 12-foot-wide driving lanes with 8-foot paved shoulders. The new bridge over Double Spring Creek will have a clear roadway width of 40-feet. The proposed SH-80 alignment will be west of S. Wilson Lane which will provide a direct connection to the existing SH-51. The highway would remain open during construction, and access to residences and businesses would be maintained. The purpose of proposed improvements is to correct roadway deficiencies, enhance safety, and efficiently accommodate traffic.
