US-95 Level One Concepts and Results 

On-Alignment Concepts

Improvements would be considered for the current highway system. While the details of specific improvement elements would be refined throughout the process, we want to forecast what is possible for updates on the current roadway system. 


Rural Improvements ​

  • Widening 

  • Targeted roadway improvements outside Moscow city limits


Urban Improvements ​​

  • Targeted roadway improvements in Moscow

  • Standalone improvements for walking and biking

New Alignment Concepts
New connections and roadways would be considered off the current highway system. Because we build new roads to the latest design standards, many roadway elements would be determined by engineering best practices and technical data at the time of final design and construction. 


New Corridors

  • New roadway corridors could be created to address the problems on US-95 and SH-8

New Routes for Urban Mobility

  • These concepts would help roadway users move around and through the Moscow area

No Build Concept

Carried Forward in All Screening Levels

A No Build Alternative is required in NEPA environmental reviews and maintains the existing roadway network, without the proposed project. It serves as the baseline to which other alternatives are compared.
