SR 264 Feasibility Study

(Kinlichee Chapter House Road to Summit)

EPS was selected by ADOT to complete a Feasibility Study on
SR 264 to determine a recommended alternative that would increase safety and capacity for a 13.6 mile section of SR 264 - one of the most used highways on the Navajo Nation providing primary access to the Nation’s capitol of Window Rock.
Alternatives included a new four-lane divided highway constructed within the existing right-of-way, a four-lane divided highway which utilized the two existing lanes and two new lanes, and a passing/climbing lane concept.

EPS Group successfully addressed public and agency concerns to develop a consensus for the selection of a recommended alternative at Public and Agency Meetings held at the Kinlichee Chapter House in the Navajo Nation. Meetings attendees included representatives from ADOT, BIA, FHWA, the public, local school districts, and several Navajo Nation agencies (transportation, transit, health services, environmental, parks and recreation, community development, and the Transportation and Community Development Committee).
