Traffic

This project will reconfigure University Blvd (0.7 miles) and Evelyn Byrd Avenue (1.3 miles) by converting the streets from 4 lanes to 2 vehicle lanes, a center turn lane and bike lanes to provide access management and improve safety.

The project extends East Kaylor Park Drive to the site of Harrisonburg’s second high school and connects to S. Main Street south of Pointe Drive.

The project makes multiple improvements to South Main Street in the vicinity of the I-81 Exit 243 interchange.

The project adds a 3' wide concrete median on S. Main Street from just south of Mosby Rd to Stone Spring Rd/Erickson Ave, with a break to maintain a full access entrance to Dukes Plaza.

This project addresses multiple safety concerns on the Port Republic Road corridor between Hunters Rd and Devon Lane, as identified in the Port Republic Road Safety and Operations Study

This project extends the eastbound Port Republic Road left turn lane at Bluestone Drive from 100' of storage for vehicles to 300'.

The project realigns University Blvd between the old convocation center parking lot and Forest Hill Road at the Oak Hill Drive intersection.

The objective of the Virginia Department of Transportation's STARS (Strategically Targeted Affordable Roadway Solutions) Program is to develop comprehensive, innovative transportation solutions to relieve congestion bottleneck and solve critical traffic and safety challenges throughout the commonwealth

The study includes information about existing parking supply and usage, as well as short- and long-term supply and demand forecasts for parking in the downtown area.
