Abstract:
The interchange improvement project will consist of actions to modify and improve the existing partial
diamond interchange into a partial single-point urban diamond interchange. The modifications include:
improving traffic flow in and out of the City of Albany’s downtown area from the south on US-20 by
providing two lanes of traffic flow through the intersection as compared to the existing single lane of
traffic capacity; widening the area under the existing ORE-99E overpass structure to accommodate additional
vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic;
installation of a new traffic signal at the intersection of 9th Avenue at Ellsworth Street;
realignment of the ORE-99E exit to northbound Lyon Street (US-20); and
addition of connecting sidewalks, crosswalks and bike lanes along each roadway segment within the
construction zone. [From the Plan]
