The proposed four-lane urban collector roadway will extend from US 17 at SR 540 to US 27 at Thompson Nursery Road.
On May 16, 2023, The Board approved State-Funded Grant Agreement (FPN: 450858-1-34-1) and associated resolution for Thompson Nursery Road Extension (Project) Phase II in the amount of $5,000,000.00. The limit of this phase is from West Lake Ruby Drive to US 27. The funds are designated in connection with the planning, design, permitting, and Right-of-Way acquisition support. The County will be responsible for any costs in excess of the State provided funds.
On August 8, 2023, the Board approved Contract No. 2022-041, Modification #1 with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Consultant) to add Phase II to the project. Phase II is broken up into two sub-tasks. Task 5a is a PD&E (Study), under this modification, for a new four-lane divided roadway which includes up to 3 conceptual alignments in the amount of $1,092,555.64 bringing the total project to a not-to-exceed cost of $6,181,426.47.
