During the Town Officials meeting the following were discussed

Proposed Improvements-Project ID 1170-16-02/72

  • Evaluating intersection improvement alternatives to improve safety.
  • 4 proposed alternatives were listed-
    •  Alternative #1 (Northbound & Southbound Left Turn, Northbound Right Turn)
                o Construction of northbound and southbound left turn lanes, and a
                    northbound right turn lane.

          Alternative #2A (Southbound Left Turn, Offset Northbound Right Turn)
                  o Construction of a southbound left turn lane and a northbound off-set right
                      turn lane. A raised median would also be constructed on the County K
                      approach.

           Alternative #2B (Northbound & Southbound Left Turn, Offset Northbound
             Right Turn)
                  o Construction of northbound and southbound left turn lanes, and a
                      northbound off-set right turn lane. A raised median would also be
                     constructed on the County K approach.
         

           Alternative #3 (Multi-Lane Roundabout)
                   o Construction of a multi-lane roundabout with two-lane approaches on
                      northbound and southbound US 51. US 51 would flare to two lanes
                      upstream of the intersection and then merge back to a single lane
                     downstream of the intersection. Single-lane approaches would be used
                     for the County K and Swamp Lake Road approaches.

Traffic Impacts

US 51 is anticipated to remain open to traffic during construction. Traffic control is anticipated to consist of flagging operations, staged construction operations, single lane closures, possible sideroad closures and shoulder closures.
