The applicant requests authorization to reconstruct approximately 3.6 miles of USH 51 from Roby Road to County Trunk Highway (CTH) AB on the existing alignment. From Roby Road at the southern terminus of the project area to County Road B, the existing 2-lane undivided roadway would be reconstructed to a 4-lane urban divided roadway with a raised median and 10-foot-wide sidewalk on both sides of USH 51. Rutland–Dunn Townline Road and County Road B intersections would be reconstructed into dual-lane roundabouts. From County Road B to the northern terminus of the project, CTH AB, the existing undivided rural roadway would be reconstructed to a 2-lane rural divided roadway with a continuous raised median. The project would involve the expansion of the existing right of way (ROW).
