Lithia Pinecrest, Durant & Lumsden Road Intersection Improvements (CIP # 63077)
The existing intersection has six roadway approaches. The approaches have unconventional, skewed crossings that create conflicting movements for the vehicles. In addition, the lane configurations and turn lane lengths do not provide adequate operational capacity for current and future traffic demands. Due to the increase of residents and continued development in the surrounding area, the intersection is operating beyond its design capacity, resulting in significant vehicle delay due to traffic congestion and a high number of accidents.
Traffic volumes are high during morning and evening peak hours. The northbound left turn lane on Lithia Pinecrest Road experiences the highest volume in the morning. The eastbound right turn lane on Lumsden Road is at its highest volume in the evening.
