• When the project is completed Moccasin Wallow Road will be expanded from a two-lane road to a six-lane road with three lanes in each direction.
• A 12-foot wide multi-use path is included in the project design along with 7-foot wide sidewalks, bicycle lanes in each direction, and stormwater management improvements within roadway median openings.
