The Cunningham Road is a minor collector linking Southeast and Southwest Adams County together. It is used as a secondary route from Othello to SR 395. This road is a haul route for farm products to market or storage and a secondary haul route for National Foods chicken egg farm. 42% of recent ADT represents truck traffic.

The prior lane width was 9 feet with a varying 3 foot gravel and native material shoulder that had eroded in places. The narrow roadway and unprotected steep slopes compromised safety.

The project consisted of widening the roadbed to 28 feet, mitigating roadside hazards, modifying side slopes, shoulder widening, adding guardrail, and surfacing the entire roadway with a BST.
