Construction Addition:
After the completion of the expansion project, we expect an increase in total northbound lanes to 62 automobile lanes. This will also add 110,000 square feet of energy preserving and producing material. Not only is there an expect increase in lanes, but an increase in efficiency to S.E.N.T.R.I.(Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection) system. [1]
First Parapraph: Phase III 2017
Phase 3 has begun September 2017, as the realignment of Southbound Interstate 5 has taken place. It is an increase from the previous 5 lanes to 10 lanes that will be open once phase 3 is complete. This project also targets the Northbound I-5 as it will have a net increase of 8 inspection lanes at the end of its completion.This project does not affect existing pedestrian lanes.[2] Architects,Miller Hull Partnership,are leading the third phase of the project have a budget of $150 million USD. [3]
PedWest Addition:
PedWest improved efficiency as now 63,000 people pass through it each day. This has also become a better alternative for pedestrian traffic, due to the Southbound I-5 re-alignment.[4]
