from Elm Lane to Rea Road
Status: Utility Relocation, Construction
Cost: $20 million
Project Overview
This project will extend Bryant Farms Road by approximately 0.4 miles from Elm Lane to Rea Road. It will also improve the intersection of Elm Lane, Blakeney Heath Road and Bryant Farms Road and provide a signalized intersection at Rea Road and Bryant Farms Road. The project will include pedestrian and bicycle facilities, curb and gutter, an 8-foot planting strip, street lights and landscape buffers in selected areas. The project design process will include traffic analysis, storm water quality management plan and a sediment and erosion control plan.
The project will provide an alternate east-west route parallel to Ardrey Kell Road and Ballantyne Commons Parkway, which will help alleviate increasing traffic congestion in this rapidly growing area due to a high level of new development.
