[RP TownTalk] Fwd: SHA Work at Route 1 and East West Highway; lane closures

[Andrew Farrington]

Not an instant too soon!  Huzzah!  The short term increase in pain will be well worth it when Queensbury/Rt1 is suddenly a usable intersection.  Currently traffic waiting to enter the left turn lane at 410 backs up past Queensbury and makes everything suck for everyone, no matter how considerate and mindful anyone tries to be.  This is gonna be great.

>>>For your information, the State Highway Administration has announced that they will shortly begin work to construct a new left turn lane on northbound US 1 approaching MD 410 beginning at the intersection of US 1 and Queensbury Road to just north of MD 410. Crews will also replace curb and gutter along southbound US 1, upgrade curb ramps and sidewalks for Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance, improve roadway drainage and re-position the traffic signals to match up with the new left turn lane. SHA will also patch and resurface US 1 and install new pavement markings. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times throughout the project. Signs, construction barrels and cones, arrow boards and flaggers will be used to direct pedestrians and traffic within the work zone.
>>> 
>>>SHA will intermittently close lanes on weekdays between 9 am and 3 pm on East-West Highway, and on US 1 between 9 am and 3 pm weekdays and overnight, Sunday through Thursday, 9 pm to 5 am. 
>>>They expect the work will be completed by “late Fall.”
