KCA is assisting District Three with an improved hurricane evacuation capacity route in providing an enhanced regional east-west corridor. The project limits extend from SR 79 to US 231 in Washington and Bay Counties. SR 20 is an evacuation route and is classified as a rural principal arterial. The existing facility is a two-lane undivided roadway with 12-foot travel lanes and 8 to 12-foot stabilized (5-foot paved) shoulders. KCA is tasked with evaluating for a four-lane divided roadway to provide the needed evacuation capacity. Given the natural context, heavy truck use, and 55 mph speed limit, the typical section will include a 40-foot median, 12-foot travel lanes, and flush 10-foot (5-foot paved) outside shoulders. Our team is considering an enhanced pedestrian and bicycle accommodation in proximity of the existing trail segments and near the SR 79, SR 77, and US 231 intersections.
