CEDAR LANE REALIGNMENT

HANOVER COUNTY, VA

This federally funded, locally administered project consisted of the design and preparation of construction plans and bid documents for a roadway realignment in an area of the county ripe for development.

THE CHALLENGE

The realignment was approximately 1,000 feet of Cedar Lane (SR 623) further north in order to intersect with Washington Highway (US Route 1) at a tee connection, in lieu of the existing severely skewed alignment.

HOW WE HELPED

McCormick Taylor developed pre-scoping horizontal and vertical alignment alternatives for various design speeds; lane and shoulder widening and intersection realignment to improve safety; addition of turn lanes, signal warrant study and signal design; extensive stakeholder coordination with the County and local businesses; and development of final construction plans. McCormick Taylor also oversaw the relocation design for approximately 1,100 linear feet of 8-inch and 16-inch water main and associated appurtenances along the existing Cedar Lane and US Route 1 and the extension of approximately 900 linear feet of 16-inch water main and associated appurtenances along the realigned Cedar Lane (SR 623).

RESULTS

US Route 1 was widened to provide left and right turn lanes at the new intersection, the intersection was signalized, and a cul-de-sac was constructed for existing Old Telegraph Road near where it previously connected with US Route 1.  In addition, a major industrial development was constructed adjacent to the project since its completion.
