SR 5 SPUR @ SANDY PLAINS ROAD

construction work program

The proposed improvement would provide dual right turn lanes approximately 485 ft in length on SR 5 for the eastbound approach. The additional right turn lane would require widening along the south side of the eastbound approach. The eastbound right turn angle would also be improved to provide a safer right turning radius onto Sandy Plains Road from SR 5/Canton Rd Conn. The safer right turn angle will require vehicles to slow down and improve driver visibility of pedestrians and other motorists. Upon completion, the dual eastbound right turn lanes would require adjustments to the existing island, signal and utility poles and signal cabinet in the southwest quadrant of the intersection. Providing dual right turn lanes on the eastbound approach will significantly reduce the queuing and spillback observed in both the AM and PM peak periods.
