Golden Center Freeway / McKnight Way Interchange

Grass Valley, CA

  • MTJ Roundabout Engineering’s Mark Johnson was the designer/reviewer responsible for operational analysis and final horizontal geometrics for this roundabout serving a major interstate

    This challenging roundabout project includes two 6-leg interchange ramp terminal roundabouts.

    Key to this effort was developing a design sensitive to ROW impacts, existing infrastructure, and business access while ensuring safety and access for all modes of travel.

    MTJ’s extensive roundabout design experience was pivotal in achieving the correct roundabout design solution for this application of two roundabouts.

Highlights

  • Closely spaced existing frontage road

  • Evaluated feasibility of 6-leg roundabout vs. two closely spaced roundabouts

  • Constrained urban context

  • Utilization of existing bridge structure
