anchor Description
This project provides for the design, land acquisition, and construction of linear feet of roadway widening and resurfacing along Snouffer School Road between Centerway Road and Turkey Thicket Drive and a new traffic signal at Alliston Hollow Way and Turkey Thicket Drive, providing left-turn lanes at both signals as well as providing for grading for two northern lanes and resurfacing two southern lanes from Turkey Thicket Drive to Alliston Hollow Way. The closed-section roadway typical section consists of two through lanes southbound and one through lane northbound separated by a raised median, an eight-foot shared use path on the northern side, and a five-foot sidewalk on the southern side within a right-of-way. The sidewalk and shared use path will extend for a distance of linear feet from Centerway Road to Alliston Hollow Way. The project will include a bridge for the northbound traffic lanes and replacement of the existing bridge for the southbound traffic lane over Cabin Branch, street lights, storm drainage, stormwater management, landscaping, and utility relocations.
