A variety of Transportation System Management Operations (TSMO) strategies are under consideration including temporary use of shoulders, variable speed limits and ramp metering. The project is in the planning phase and is being developed through the Planning and Environment Linkages (PEL) process. Detailed environmental studies would be completed during preliminary design if the project moves forward.
