If you've driven along Pleasant Valley Road near Cork Street recently, you may have noticed construction activity and wondered what crews are working on.
The project focuses on improving traffic flow by adding new turn lanes on Pleasant Valley Road at the intersection with Cork Street, where vehicles frequently back up while waiting to turn. When turning traffic has nowhere to go, it can slow down everyone behind it and create congestion during busy times of day.
The new turn lanes will help separate turning vehicles from through traffic, allowing more vehicles to move through the corridor safely and efficiently.
Drivers can expect periodic lane shifts and work-zone activity while construction is underway. Please slow down, stay alert, and watch for workers and equipment in the area.
Projects like this may seem small, but targeted improvements at traffic bottlenecks can have a meaningful impact on daily travel throughout the city.
