Project Limits: The project limits include the intersection and approaches of Cedar Grove Road and Postal Lane as it intersects with Plantation Road. Project Need:Postal Lane currently intersects Plantation Road approximately 150' north of the intersection of Plantation Road and Cedar Grove Road. This project will realign Cedar Grove Road and Postal Lane in order to create one intersection at this location. This realignment will improve the geometry of the road at this location and increase safety. The project includes separate left-turn, through, and right-turn lanes on each leg of the intersection, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks. Street lighting will be added and a traffic signal will be installed to control the intersection. Project Justification:The current configuration of these two intersections presents a safety
problem. There were a total of 23 accidents at this location during the
period from July 2005 through July 2009 (no fatalities). Realigning the
intersection will improve the roadway geometry, ultimately bringing it up to
DelDOT standards, which will make the area safer for traffic. Adding bicycle
lanes and sidewalks will also make the intersection safer for alternate
modes of transportation. Construction to occur September 2013 - Spring 2015 This project currently has funding for design, right-of-way acquisition and construction Contractor and Cost: TBD Construction Schedule: TBD. |
