Since the existing Rotherwood Drive slope (1) is already steeper than current road design standards, it is not feasible to simply make the Rotherwood Drive slope steeper (2) in order to reach the lowered Netherland Inn road. Rather, TDOT is proposing to cut back and re-grade the entire entrance and first 1,000 feet of Rotherwood Drive to allow a more gradual transition and flatter slope into the intersection at Netherland Inn road (3).
