SR 24/Angola Rd/Robinsonville Rd Improvement Plan Awarded to Contractor

Some Pointers from a Highway Engineer:

• No elevation change near either entrance. The Angola Rd side will be graded upward to prevent bottoming out by all classes of vehicles (motorcycles to tanker trucks).

• 2018 and now are identical with the exceptions of crosswalks and bike lanes added. This kind of 4x4 intersection is a highway engineering standard. The curves heading away from the intersection on Robinsonville and Angola roads are common customization accommodating curves.

• This type of widened intersection may initially have higher accident rates if the majority of drivers are 55+ due to changing from 2 travel lanes to 4 intersecting lanes within a short distance The accident rate typically drops by 50% after a year of being in service.

All work on Rt 24 is to be done at night, but Angola Rd will be closed up to 90 days.
