156th Street - Pacific Street to Wycliffe Drive (OPW 50157)

About the Project

156th Street from Pacific Street to Wycliffe Drive is to be reconstructed to a four-lane urban roadway divided by a median.  While the interchange with West Dodge Road will not change, the project includes reconstruction and widening, with dual  left-turn lanes at Pacific Street.  

The reconstruction and widening of this segment of 156th Street is necessary to improve overall motorized traffic and pedestrian safety,  as well as providing accommodation for future traffic volumes. In  addition to achieving safety improvements, this project strives to reduce congestion during morning and evening peaks hours,  including improvements to the impacts from Kiewit Middle School and other schools near the corridor.
