Road project 0021265: SR 6/US 278 @ RICHARD D SAILORS PKWY
Construction Work Program · Operational Improvement · Cities: Powder Springs · The proposed improvements include constructing a dedicated westbound through lane and the restriping of eastbound lanes to eliminate signal split phasing. The southbound left turn lanes would be extended into the existing hatching, to increase storage capacity to approximately 750’. Additionally, a second northbound right turn lane would be constructed, and both right turn lanes would be extended to provide approximately 400’ of storage. The northbound right turn movement would be signalized, and a gravity wall would be constructed east of the northbound leg to accommodate the grade. These enhancements are expected to significantly reduce queues along the major approaches to the intersection. Furthermore, the elimination of the split-phased signal is anticipated to improve operational efficiency and reduce delays during both peak periods.
