Grant Road 3&4, Swan Road to Sparkman Blvd, all lanes will be open this week west from Alvernon to Sparkman. Alvernon east to Swan will remain one lane in each direction, with work continuing through the month. The pedestrian crossings at Palo Verde and Dodge are fully operational.
Similar to other phases of this project, the design will include additional travel lanes, new and wider sidewalks, more signalized crosswalks, and improved bicycle lanes. Enhanced landscaping will improve both the pedestrian and bicyclist use and the appearance of Grant Road. A median and managed access to businesses will improve safety and will provide a safer and easier way to get to and from residences and businesses in congested areas. Additionally, indirect left turns will be constructed at Alvernon.
