Project Overview

There is a proposed project to improve safety and modify the Route 17 and Route 610 (Woods Cross Road/Davenport Road) intersection in Gloucester County. 

The proposed design removes left turns and through movements at the intersection. All side street approaches would begin with a right turn. Drivers would turn right onto Route 17 at the intersection before making a U-turn at designated locations. 

There are two proposed locations for the U-turns, one north and one south of the intersection. The designated U-turn locations are near the Route 17 and Woods Cross Road intersection giving drivers sufficient space and enough time to merge then crossover to the left lane. The U-turn locations are 0.16 of a mile north and south of the intersection. 

New signs and pavement markings will be installed to align with the new traffic pattern as part of the project.

Construction will take place within existing VDOT Right-of-Way along Route 17.

Project Benefits 

  • Improved safety: Reduces the number of points where vehicles cross paths and eliminates the potential for head-on crashes
  • Increased efficiency: Each direction of the major street can operate independently, creating two one-way streets and increasing the overall intersection capacity
  • Shorter wait times: Fewer traffic signal phases means less stopping for arterial vehicles and allowing only right turns from side street vehicles means less waiting
