South
Liberty Parkway
The South Liberty Parkway was first referenced in Liberty’s
1965 Comprehensive Community Plan. While the alignment contemplated at that
time is different than what was eventually selected, it was noted that such a
roadway would make south Liberty more “accessible and feasible” for
development.
An engineering and planning study for Phase 1 of the parkway
was completed in October 2003 and construction began in the spring of 2004.
Construction was completed for Phase 1 in the summer of 2006. This phase
includes four miles of new roadway, including the parkway from the I-35
interchange near Pleasant Valley to Withers Road and an improved Withers Road
north to the Community Center.
In addition to providing for new traffic patterns in the
southwestern portion of the City, this project opened approximately 1,975 acres
of undeveloped land for both residential and business development.
Although no time frame has been established for construction
of South Liberty Parkway Phase II, conceptual design was initiated in 2004 to
determine the alignment. Engineering and final design of the second phase of
the Parkway is expected to get underway in 2007. Ultimately, the Parkway will
continue from Withers Road to Highway 291 in south Liberty and will open an additional
1,630 acres for development.
