Background and Discussion:

The parent project included the intersection improvements for three intersections.  Phase III is the design and construction of the Hufsmith Road and Stuebner Airline intersection realignment and signalization will allow for better mobility along Hufsmith Road.  The improvements will increase level of service and decrease delays.  Along with the signalization, the project includes dedicated left turn lanes.

 

Expected Impact:

The new alignment will provide an improved sight distance and safety. The new signal will allow for improved access from Stuebner Airline Road. 

 

Alternative Options:

Alternative is for the existing alignment configuration to remain.
