Two-Way Left Turn Lane (TWLTL) Construction
Planning Phase

Project Summary

The project includes improving Route D (North Washington Street) from Route EE (Burks Road) to Route 32 (Karsch Boulevard). The project will widen Route D with a two-way, left-turn lane from Hillsboro Road to Route 32; extend the right-turn lane to better accommodate the southbound to westbound movement from Route D onto Route 32; rebuild the roadway (full-depth replacement) from Route EE to Route 32 to address the current pavement conditions; and improve drainage. The box culvert crossing Route D near Route 32 will also be extended to the west to provide more clearance for vehicles making a right turn onto Route 32.

Additionally, it will update pedestrian facilities on the eastside of Route D to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. As part of the safety improvement project, access management measures will be implemented to reduce conflict points along the corridor.

Two Alternatives for Traffic Impacts

Alternate one consists of closing Route D, and alternate two consists of staging construction to keep Route D open to traffic.

Alternate 1: 

With a road closure, a signed detour along Route EE, Middle Street and Route 32 would be provided, and construction would be underway for 10-12 months. 

Alternate 2: 

With staged construction, the roadway would remain open, but the construction timeline would be extended. Construction would be underway for approximately 15 months with alternate 2.
