Project benefits are expected to include increased intersection capacity, improved stormwater collection, and minimized conflict points. Additionally, the project will involve resurfacing existing pavement and introducing upgraded landscape features.

In terms of project milestones, the design phase is complete, and final Right of Way preparation is currently being conducted.
