<br /> CASS COUNTY ROADWAY 18 EXTENSION STUDY – CASS COUNTY, <br />ND <br /> <br />4 <br />3 EXISTING CONDITION ANALYSIS <br />3.1 ROADWAY TYPICAL SECTION AND ATTRIBUTES <br />The existing 52nd Street SE and CR 18 roadway typical sections are shown in Figure 1. Three typical <br />sections are shown in Figure 2; one for the existing aggregate surfaced roadway section on 52nd Street <br />SE throughout the study area, CR 18 for the section within 2 miles of CR17, and one for the bridge <br />section across the Sheyenne River. The 52nd Street SE roadway section is currently an aggregate <br />surface with open ditch drainage along both the north and south sides of the roadway. As shown in <br />Figure 2, the roadway, ditch, and right-of-way (ROW) widths vary based on the location within the <br />corridor, but the aggregate surface is typically 28 to 30 feet wide. The CR 18 typical section is similar to <br />the 52nd Street SE typical section with a slightly wider aggregate surface of approximately 30 to 32 feet. <br />The townships both complete annual aggregate surface maintenance on 52nd Street SE. The spread rate <br />of gravel used for each township vary between 150 cubic yards per mile (CY/mile) to 365 CY/mile based <br />on the amount of available funding. Cass County currently maintains CR 18 at a gravel spread rate of <br />365 CY/mile. <br /> <br />Driveway and field access locations along both 52nd Street SE and CR 18 typically have corrugated metal <br />pipe culverts for drainage. Flood protection measures have been implemented on the east end of the <br />study area. The measures include levees and sluice gates installed on the north side of the roadway. <br />Approximately 0.75 miles west of the Sheyenne River bridge, two transverse corrugated metal pipe <br />culverts cross 52nd Street SE providing conveyance for a tributary of the Sheyenne River. Several <br />drainage improvements have been made at the intersection of 52nd Street SE and CR 17 including <br />multiple culverts and roadway ditch improvements. The 52nd Street corridor speed limit is 55 miles per <br />hour (MPH) with the exception of reduced speed zones of 40 MPH approaching the Sheyenne River <br />bridge and 25 MPH immediately adjacent to the bridge. <br /> <br />The 52nd Street SE intersection with CR 15 has two-way stop-control on the 52nd Street SE approaches <br />and the intersection with CR 17 is controlled by a yield sign on the 52nd Street SE approach and stop sign <br />on the CR 18 approach. Several north-south township roadways intersect with 52nd Street SE throughout <br />the project study area. The north-south township roadways are typically yield controlled with yield signs <br />at the intersections with 52nd Street SE. Additional access locations along 52nd Street SE are typically at <br />driveway approaches or field locations. The spacing and locations of the access points along the corridor <br />are acceptable, but some may need to be slightly relocated or combined if any improvements to the <br />roadway are made. <br /> <br />The roadways in the study area were included in the functional class figure within the Cass County <br />Comprehensive and Transportation Plan. The Cass County Functional Class figure lists both CR 15 and <br />CR 17 as Major Collectors with CR 18 and 52nd Street SE as Local/Township classification. North Dakota <br />46 is classified as a Minor Arterial in the comprehensive plan and as a State Corridor with the North <br />Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) State Highway Performance Classification System. <br />According to the Comprehensive Plan, both CR 15 and CR 17 are classified as Regionally Significant <br />Candidate Corridors. Vehicle load restrictions are typically placed on CR 15 and CR 17 during the spring <br />thaw.
