A 1.3-mile section of Fayetteville Road will be improved with extra travel and turn lanes, a raised median and a new roundabout.
The work will stretch from East 22nd Street to Farringdom Street. The five-lane portion of this stretch will be widened into six lanes separated by a concrete median for safety.
Additionally, the left turn lanes in either direction from Fayetteville Road onto North Roberts Avenue will be eliminated; instead, drivers wishing to go left will use a widened Boomerang Drive to access North Roberts Avenue.
Eliminating those left turns will reduce delays for the majority of the traffic traveling through this intersection.
