Project Description

The King Street and N. Beauregard Intersection Improvements project redesigns the intersection to improve safety for roadway users. The reconfiguration will include new turn lanes, median islands, upgraded sidewalks and enhanced crossings. The project not only enhances capacity for people driving, but improves safety for people walking, biking, and riding transit.

Schedule

Design (Active): Q2 2022 - Q3 2025

Construction: Q1 2026 - Q4 2026

Design Phase

The design was revised in 2022 to include improvements that would benefit all users of the roadway. The project design includes various intersection improvements along King Street, between N. Hampton Drive and Chesterfield Road. Elements of the design include the following…

  • Lane realignment to encourage safer turning speeds, easier transitions through the intersection, and allow for medians within the intersection,
  • Removing the right turn lane median on the northwest corner of the N. Beauregard Street intersection to encourage safer turning speeds and improve pedestrian safety crossing the intersection
  • Adding striped out medians on King Street at the Chesterfield Street intersection and the 28th Street intersection to provide more space for pedestrians to wait if they cannot cross the full distance of the intersection.
  • Adding striped out and concrete medians with pedestrian cut outs on all legs of the N. Beauregard Street intersection to provide more space for pedestrians to wait if they cannot cross the full distance of the intersection.
    • It is important to note, the striped-out medians on King Street could be used for an additional left turn lane if congestion levels deem warranted in the future.
  • Extending the left turn lane for the westbound approach of King Street at the N. Beauregard Intersection to enhance capacity along King Street.
  • Upgrading the traffic signal infrastructure within all King Street intersection between Chesterfield Road and N. Hampton Drive
  • Upgrading the curb ramps along King Street, between Chesterfield Street and N. Hampton Street to be compliant with ADA requirements.

Design is finalizing and is slated to be complete Late Summer 2025.
