SR 141/LENOX ROAD NE @ SR 141 CONNECTOR/PHIPPS BLVD

complete

This project is located at the intersection of S.R. 141 (Buckhead Loop) at Phipps Blvd. The Buckhead Loop is an Urban Principal Arterial that connects GA 400 to State Route 141/Peachtree Road. The project will increase the length of the existing left turn lane and also add an additional left turn lane to provide for dual 400 foot long left turn lanes, thereby eliminating the substandard storage capacity. This will be accomplished by reducing the width of the median by 2 feet and reducing all lane widths on the west side of the Buckhead Loop/Phipps Blvd. intersection. Additionally, the taper on the existing right turn lane eastbound onto Phipps Blvd. will be lengthened by 100 feet for a total length of 275 feet in order to increase storage capacity. Finally, this project proposes to bring the intersection into compliance with ADA standards.
