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 #1 (Northbound & Southbound Left Turn, Northbound Right Turn)
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.
