Project Description

Intersection improvements at Old Meridian Road/US-24, New Meridian Road/US-24 (2014 PPRTA “A” list project); New Meridian Extension from US-24 to Falcon Highway (2004 PPRTA “A” list project), and the Falcon Park & Ride (federal funds project).  These projects will be designed and constructed concurrently for cost and time efficiencies. Improvements include removing the traffic signal at Old Meridian/US-24 and converting access control at this location to a right-in/right-out; and completing New Meridian/US-24 as a signalized intersection with adequate turn lanes at all approaches.  Improvements will maximize intersection operational efficiency, increase motorist and pedestrian safety and provide appropriate auxiliary lanes and drainage improvements.
