Highway 62

About this project

Westbound Hwy 62 experiences up to six hours of traffic congestion each day in this area, between Valley View Rd. and Hwy 100. This project will widen the shoulders and auxiliary lane from the Valley View Rd. on ramp to the northbound Hwy 100 ramp. These improvements will increase the overall safety and capacity of the road.

This project will also include the construction of noise walls along both sides of Hwy 62 east of Hwy 100 to help reduce noise pollution. The construction of the noise walls is a result of a noise wall evaluation and public voting process that approved the noise walls.

Summary of work

• Updating westbound Hwy 62 auxiliary lane and widening inside shoulder between Valley View Rd. and Hwy 100
• Noise walls will be built at the following locations based on voting results:
  • Along the north side of Hwy 62 from approximately West 62nd St. to Valley View Rd.
  • Along the south side of Hwy 62 from approximately West 64th St. to West Shore Dr.

Traffic impacts

All traffic impacts are tentative and weather dependent.

Upcoming

Information about upcoming traffic impacts will be provided as details become available. Motorists can expect lane closures during construction. There will be some pre-construction preparation work to shift lanes in order to keep some traffic lanes open while auxiliary lane and noisewalls are being installed during the project.
