Walnut Grove Road - Shelby County

This project improves a 1.0-mile segment of Walnut Grove Road by widening the existing roadway from two to four lanes, correcting geometry, adding bicycle and pedestrian facilities for improved mobility, and widening the bridge over Gray Creek. This project is designed with an oversized median to allow for additional expansion in the future. The intersection of Houston Levee Road and Walnut Grove Road is being improved within this project scope. This route provides one of only two east-west crossings of Gray Creek. The project is being funded as a 75/25 cost share with 75% of the funding being provided by federal through state transportation funds. Financial Impact: The impact of deferring this project is unexpended federal funds that are subject to rescission. Deferring this project will likely result in increases in construction costs. This project is included in the county's FY 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program. As of December 6, 2022, further details regarding design and construction timelines have not been identified. A tentative bid schedule for contractors is scheduled for 2024-2025. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
