Project Overview

Project Details

Additional features of the proposed project:

• A raised concrete barrier is proposed along Route 1 to separate northbound and southbound traffic.
• Right turn lanes from Route 1 onto Route 606 would be lengthened to meet current standards.
• The addition of a northbound left turn lane into the shopping center to the west will be considered.
• A new traffic signal would be added at the intersection.

Thursday, April 19, 2012
