Work to widen Poplar Tent Road would include two lanes in each direction with curb and gutter, a 23- to 30-foot-wide raised median, turn lanes and pedestrian and bicycle accommodations.
Two design alternatives are being considered:
- Alternative 1 would widen the road on its existing location
- Alternative 2 would widen the road on a new location in some areas
The median divided street design separates each direction of travel on Poplar Tent Road with curb and gutter and a 23-to 30-foot-wide raised median.
A variety of innovative intersections would be built to improve safety and reduce delays for drivers.
A
continuous flow intersection will be built at Poplar Tent Road and George Liles Parkway.
Roundabouts, directional crossovers,
thru-cut intersections and
reduced conflict intersections will also be implemented along the corridor.
