Project Background
The proposed design would convert the current crossover to a restricted crossing U-turn (RCUT) intersection. This pattern has fewer locations where vehicle paths could overlap and collide, resulting in a crash.
The $3.2 million project would extend the northbound Route 301 left turn lane onto Port Conway Road and extend the southbound Route 301 left turn lane onto Salem Church Road.
Through movements and left turns out from Port Conway Road and Salem Church Road would be prohibited. Side street traffic would first turn right and make a U-turn at a dedicated median opening to travel in the desired direction.
King George County submitted an application for this project through Virginia's SMART SCALE transportation funding program.
