SR 54 Traffic Pattern Updates:
SR 54 Widening from east of Curley Road to east of Morris Bridge Road This project is widening the existing two-lane road to a four-lane divided highway with medians. A sidewalk has been constructed on the north side of the road and a 10-foot wide multi-use trail is being built on the south side. The sidewalk and trail will run the entire length of the project, from east of Curley Road to east of the Morris Bridge Road / Eiland Boulevard intersection.
Eastbound SR 54 traffic shifted to new alignment
* Construction cost includes original construction contract amount plus approved contract changes. It does not include inspection oversite.
The traffic switch eliminated left turns from/to SR 54 at driveways and many side streets (they are now “right in, right out” turns only). A list of the major restricted left turn movements is posted below:
