The purpose of the Avenue 328 Safety Improvements Project is to improve the safety and traffic operations along the A venue 328 corridor by constructing left-tum pockets at its intersections with Road 112, Road 138 and Road 156. More specifically, the Avenue 328 and Road 112 intersection will consist of an eastbound left-tum lane, the A venue 328 and Road 138 intersection will consist of a westbound left-tum lane, and the A venue 328 and Road 156 intersection will consist of left-tum lanes in both directions.
