Madison County Announces Two-Week Construction at Clift Farm Intersection for Traffic Improvements
Madison County officials have scheduled a two-week construction project beginning on Monday, July 14, at a key intersection within the Clift Farm development. The work will focus on improving traffic safety and accessibility at the junction of Jack Clift Boulevard, Silo Lane, and Lesslie Clift Lane.
Scope of the Construction and Planned Changes
The primary objective of the project is to install ADA-compliant curb ramps at the intersection, facilitating easier access for individuals with disabilities. Additionally, county officials plan to convert the intersection into a four-way stop, which is expected to improve the management of vehicle flow in the increasingly populated residential area of Clift Farm.
Timeline and Traffic Impact
The construction is anticipated to last approximately two weeks, weather conditions permitting. During this period, single-lane closures will be enforced during work hours, which are scheduled from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.. Motorists are advised to expect delays while passing through the construction zone and are encouraged to plan alternative routes to avoid potential congestion.
Recommendations for Drivers
County officials emphasize the importance of exercising caution when traveling through the area. Drivers are urged to follow posted signs and traffic directives, particularly during working hours. If possible, alternative routes are recommended to minimize travel delays and enhance safety for both drivers and workers on-site.
Purpose and Benefits of the Improvements
The ongoing project aims to enhance overall traffic safety and improve accessibility for residents and visitors in the Clift Farm community. The addition of ADA-compliant curb ramps ensures compliance with federal accessibility standards and benefits pedestrians with mobility challenges.
Background and Context
