What's the issue?

The purpose of this project is to improve safety on Route 21 at the Lowry Lane intersection by installing a Two Way Left Turn Lane (TWLTL) and upgrading the existing guardrail to current standards from 2100 feet north of Lowry Lane to 900 feet south of Lowry Lane in Hillsboro.  By adding this lane, it will improve safety and reduce the number of crashes, as well as help overall traffic flow on Route 21.
