Metropolitan Planning Organization's Mobility 2035 Plan (adopted 
December 7, 2009) as added capacity improvements consisting of 
expanding the existing facility to a four lane expressway with four 
toll mainlanes and four non-toll outer lanes. The need for improvements 
within the additional segment relate to compromised safety, decreased 
mobility, and operational deficiencies attributed to substantial growth 
in traffic. The purpose of adding the proposed segment is to address 
these needs by upgrading the existing roadway to current design 
standards to improve safety, enhance mobility and improve operational 
efficiency.
