Lancaster receives funding for major interchange project
A grant of $33.3 million has been awarded to the city of Lancaster by the Southern California Association of Governments to advance the SR-14 (SR-138) Highway Equity Corridor Improvements Program – Avenue M Interchange Project.
News of such significant funding and their ramifications can be made known throughout a city with flyer printing.
An access point on the freeway that is one used most heavily in the region will be modernized by this investment. The funds include $3,812,743 in toll credits and $29,428,257 in federal grant funds. No local match is required of this funding by Lancaster.
The Avenue M Interchange links the residents of the city to health services, employment centers, regional destinations, airports, and military installations, this serving as major transportation gateway. Improvements at the interchange will include continuous pedestrian facilities and striped buffered bike lanes through the interchange; replacing ramp intersections controlled by stop signs with modern roundabouts; a new design of the roadway with one travel lane in each direction and a center lane for turning; and a seismic retrofit of the Avenue M overcrossing.
Mayor R. Rex Parris said that the approval of this project ensures that the city will receive the modern and safe transportation system that it needs and deserves. Neighborhoods that were divided will be reconnected and dangerous conditions will be reduced with these improvements that will create a stronger future for the city.
