US250/Peter Jeff Pkwy Intersection Improvements & Access Management

Project Description

The project would have four main elements: 1) Add a right-turn only for eastbound traffic on US250 (turning right onto Peter Jefferson Parkway) to reduce rear-end crashes at this intersection; the existing shared right-turn/thru-lane should be converted to thru-only; and, 2) Implement a “Thru-cut” at the US250/Peter Jefferson Parkway intersection such that thru-movements on the minor approaches are eliminated to maximize signal efficiencies and reduce delay; and, 3) Construct a new 50-space park and ride lot on the northwest corner of the US250/Peter Jefferson Parkway intersection; and, 4) Complete/close the existing median cut between Pantops Mountain Road and Peter Jefferson Parkway – this access management treatment is intended to improve safety and reduce delay. This application may include at-grade pedestrian crossings of US250 at Pantops Mountain Road and/or Peter Jefferson Parkway.
