Given sensitive environmental <br />issues associated with the interstate roadway segment (Yakima River, wetlands and associated critical habitat); Kittitas <br />County desires defining the feasibility of widening into the median creating three lanes eastbound and three lanes <br />westbound. <br />SCOPE OF THB PROJECT: <br />The work to be perfbrmed by the consultant consists of conducting preliminary environmental assessment work along with <br />preliminary engineering and cost estimating.

The work produces a feasibility report that will be used to pursue federal design funding.
