I-495 / I-270 Managed Lanes Cultural Resources Study

As part of our state-wide cultural resources services contract with MDOT SHA, RK&K is assisting with the Section 106 consultation, excavation of over 280 acres of archaeological survey, and evaluation of over 300 historic properties. In addition, we created a historic context on the history of suburbanization until 1980 which assisted in the National Register of Historic Places property evaluations and will be applied to future cultural resource studies across the state.

As the project concludes, we are drafting a Programmatic Agreement that includes stipulations for additional archaeological studies as well as detailing the mitigation measures to resolve any adverse effects to NRHP eligible or listed historic properties.
