SR 75 Realignment near Hugh Cox Road (Phase 1)

Recommendation Details

This recommendation straightens the curve leading to Hugh Cox Road and makes the intersection with SR 75 (Suncrest Drive) safer and easier to navigate. The improvements include adding turn lanes and adjusting the road's slope to create a safer, smoother connection. These changes will also improve visibility for drivers turning from Hugh Cox Road. This project would be the first phase of a larger plan to make the curves along SR 75 in this area safer and easier to drive.

Roundabout at Boonesboro Road/Hillendale Lane

Recommendation Details

This recommendation suggests adding a roundabout where Boonesboro Road and Hillendale Lane meet SR 75 (Suncrest Drive). A roundabout would help traffic move more smoothly and safely while also encouraging drivers to slow down around the sharp curve. This is an early concept, and more study is needed to make sure the design works well, especially with school traffic in the area.

SR 75 Realignment (Phase 2)

Recommendation Details

This recommendation continues the planned improvements to SR 75 (Suncrest Drive) with a new road alignment that will smooth out the sharp curves between Daniel Boone High School and Hugh Cox Road. The realignment will also create better access options to the school, helping reduce traffic impacts on the main road. The concept plan also shows the improvements at Hugh Cox Road and the roundabout at Boonesboro Road and Hillendale Lane, which would be completed prior to the realignment.

Bob Fitz Road Access Management

Recommendation Details

This recommendation focuses on improving safety and traffic flow between Bob Fitz Road and Mosley Road. Right now, multiple driveways and side roads connect to SR 75 (Suncrest Drive) in this area, making it confusing for drivers to know who has the right of way. By adding concrete medians and limiting certain turn movements, traffic would flow more smoothly and safely, reducing conflicts between vehicles. These changes would only take place after Roscoe Fitz Road is realigned, giving drivers a safe and convenient way to turn northbound onto SR 75 (Suncrest Drive).

Roscoe Fitz Road Realignment

Recommendation Details

This recommendation proposes realigning Roscoe Fitz Road to create a safer and more efficient connection to SR 75 (Suncrest Drive). The current intersection would become right-turn-only, with one-way traffic leading up to the TPI driveway. A new intersection would be built nearby, complete with a traffic signal, to allow safer left turns both onto and off of SR 75 (Suncrest Drive).

SR 75 Mid-Term Improvements (all)

Recommendation Details

This recommendation outlines the mid-term improvements planned for the SR 75 (Suncrest Drive) corridor. Mid-Term refers to a timeline of approximately five to ten years.

The main road would remain two lanes with a center turn lane. The concept shows the other short- and mid-term improvements (Hugh Cox Road Phase 1 realignment, Boonesboro Road/Hillendale Lane roundabout, multiuse path from Daniel Boone High School to Sam Jenkins Road, Sam Jenkins Road signal, Shadden Road/Gray Station Road signal, access management in front of Bob Fitz Road, and the realignment of Roscoe Fitz Road) to show how all of the individual recommendations would fit together as part of the overall plan for the corridor.

SR 75 Long-Term Improvements (all)

Recommendation Details

This recommendation outlines a long-term vision for the SR 75 (Suncrest Drive) corridor over the next 10-25 years. Planning now helps us stay ahead of growth and traffic before problems get worse. Major projects take time, so starting early puts us in a better position to deliver improvements when it's needed, not after the need becomes urgent.

The road would be widened to four lanes with a center turn lane or concrete median between Sam Jenkins Road and Roscoe Fitz Road to improve traffic flow and safety. It also includes realigning the section of SR 75 (Suncrest Drive) between Daniel Boone High School and Hugh Cox Road.
