Project Status

Based on public input and early technical information, project committees narrowed the range of alternatives for the Sunrise Project in 2006. Two "build" alternatives and one "no build" (or "do nothing") alternative were selected for thorough study in a Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). That work has been completed and the findings are being documented in a Supplement Draft Environmental Impact Statement document.
The Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be released on Monday, October 13, 2008.

The SDEIS AND supporting technical documents will be available for review on the project website as well as at the following locations:

What are the alternatives?

While several alignments were considered, there is one remaining general alignment for the two build alternatives. This alignment parallels the existing Highway 212/224 on the north. There are three alternatives being studied.

  • Build Alternative with Midpoint Interchange
  • Build Alternative with NO Midpoint Interchange
  • No Build

What’s Next?

During the Supplemental Draft EIS, we will study and evaluate the alternatives for the entire length of the project from I-205 to the Rock Creek Junction, but we will also look at different design options within particular "zones." The design options provide different ways to build the project, such as variation in the type of interchange or adjusting the road alignment. Each of the alternatives and design options will have its own advantages and challenges. The Supplemental Draft EIS will help document the differences. There will be a 45-day public comment period, including a public open house/public hearing, on the document after it has been released.
