In a nutshell
Residents can expect more construction at the intersection in months to come, as the city anticipates replacing the four-way stop with a traffic signal. Construction is anticipated to begin in March, according to a timeline on Georgetown’s ClearGov website.
Previously, the intersection had a two-way stop for Rockride Lane’s traffic, according to information from the city. On Sept. 23, construction started for installing a temporary traffic signal, which is scheduled to be completed the week of Oct. 21.
A closer look
Improvements to the roadway stem from the Rockride Lane bond project. City documents state construction hopes to address safety, mobility, shared-use paths and roadway improvements. It includes plans to:
- Widen existing travel lanes from 11 to 12 feet
- Add a 10-foot-wide two-way turn lane between the north-south lanes
- Add a 10-foot-wide shared-use path on the east side of Rockride Lane
