Project Information
Project Overview
This is a project to improve safety at the Watts Road and Gammon Road intersection. The project includes realigning the left turn lanes on Gammon Road for better driver visibility, updating the traffic signal infrastructure, adding high visibility crosswalks, and improving the pedestrian curb ramps at the intersection. This work is partially funded by the Federal Highway Administration’s “Highway Safety Improvement Program” due to the higher-than-average crash rate and the types of crashes occurring at the intersection.
During construction, all turning movements will be maintained, but traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction, which will cause travel delays. Drivers should use alternate routes, if possible, especially during peak travel times.
Project Limits
Work is limited to the intersection of Watts Rd and Gammon Rd.
Project Schedule
Start date: 8/12/24
