This work will facilitate the addition of a third westbound lane on Karcher Road to accommodate higher traffic volumes. Other improvements for this project include:
- Adding a free-running right hand turn at the westbound off-ramp
- Paving a third westbound lane on Karcher Road from the westbound off-ramp to Sundance Road
- Reinforcing the Indian Creek Bridge to support the new lane
- Updating signal equipment and adding a pedestrian flashing beacon at the eastbound on-ramp
- Building a mixed-use path on the north side of Karcher Road
These improvements will increase safety and traffic flow at the interchange. Construction is expected to be completed in fall 2025.
