Sliding Hill Road - Widening (UPC )

Sliding Hill Road - Widening (UPC 104957) Scored HB 2 Application Project Application ID: 434 General Project Information Project Title Sliding Hill Road - Widening (UPC 104957) Principal Improvement Highway Organization Name Hanover County Does this project include any improvements to non-vdot maintained roadways? False Project Hanover County, through an agreement with VDOT, is presently developing a project through the public involvement stage to widen Sliding Hill Rd (Rt. 656) (UPC 104957) from 2 to 4 lanes between Atlee Station Rd and New Ashcake Rd (approximately 1.2 miles). The improvements will also include pedestrian and bicycle facilities, turn lanes and access management. Functionally classified as a Minor Arterial, Sliding Hill Rd is a 2-lane facility caring approximately 15,000 VPD in the project segment and is forecast to increase to 20-25,000 VPD by 2035. The Sliding Hill Rd corridor provides access to large residential, commercial and industrial developments including the Hanover County Airport and Industrial Air Park (5,000 employees, Freight Dependent, Knowledge, Local Serving per VTrans 2040 Economic Conditions Summary). The corridor is currently at capacity for a 2-lane facility. Interim improvements including turn lanes, signalization and limited widening has extended the useful life of the corridor; however, without a project to widen the facility to 4 lanes significant deterioration of this significant transportation facility is certain. The PE phase of the project is partially funded with RSTP funds allocated through the Richmond Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RRTPO). This application seeks HB2 funding to augment local and anticipated state revenue sharing funding to complete the design, right of way, utilities and construction portion of the project. The project is coordinated with land use and transportation through the Hanover County Comprehensive Plan and the RRTPO and is identified in the Secondary Six-Year Plan, Six-Year Improvement Program, and is consistent with the RRTPO Long Range Transportation Plan.

How does this project address VTrans 2040 need? This project will address Richmond Regional Network Need G (I-95 Corridor Reliability for the Commonwealth of Virginia as identified in VTrans 2040 Statewide Multimodal Transportation Plan for Regional Networks for the Richmond Region) by providing a 4-lane facility on Sliding Hill Rd to provide congestion relief in the I-95 and 295 corridors. This project improves corridor reliability by providing an outlet to Route 301, which functions as an alternate to I-95 during peak periods. Additionally, the project is consistent with the VTrans2040 Vision Plan goals of Economic Competitiveness & Prosperity, Accessible & Connected Places, Safety for All Users, Proactive System Management, and Healthy & Sustainable Communities. Specifically, as a reliever corridor to I-95 and 295 (Corridor of Significance, Washington to rth Carolina, Corridor K, Section 2), the project will provide congestion relief and assist with reliability overflow to Route 301. Because of its proximity to I-95 and 295, failure of the corridor over time has the potential to impact corridors of statewide importance due to peak hour back up onto the northbound exit ramp. These corridors are already heavily impacted by the merge of I-95 and 295 at this location. Sliding Hill Rd corridor also serves an important regional network function by providing an important reliever and connecting function between the I-95 / 295 corridors and Route 301 during congested periods. Economic Competitiveness & Prosperity goal is being achieved as a result of the project's connection to the Hanover Industrial Air Park, a large (5,000 person) employment center, and the Hanover County Airport, which are located in the Sliding Hill Rd corridor. The Sliding Hill Rd corridor supports a broad array of business and industry which are heavily freight dependent. These businesses are primarily located in the Industrial Air Park; however, potential for economic development expansion exists along the corridor through the development of a number of existing zoned or planned industrial and business developments. The corridor supports locally over 5,000 jobs according to VTrans 2040 Economic Conditions Summary and that is expected to grow. In addition the corridor supports the movement of residences from over 3,500 residential homes to a wide array of employment centers throughout the region and surrounding communities which relates to the goal of Accessible & Connected Places. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities are also important to the corridor and will be designed to facilitate mobility where appropriate, which will contribute to the lifestyle goal of Healthy & Sustainable Communities. Accident history suggests the need for operational improvements, which will be addressed by the project and help achieve the goal of Safety for All Users. The project utilizes existing infrastructure to the extent possible while also making necessary upgrades to pavements, drainage, signals and other project features, which contributes to the goal of Proactive System Management.
