WILMINGTON- INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS AT LOWELL STREET (ROUTE 129) AND WOBURN STREET

The proposed project is to construct intersection improvements at Lowell Street (Route 129) / Woburn Street to reduce vehicular congestion and peak hour delays as well as improve multi-modal safety and reduce vehicular crashes. The project would include upgrading the existing traffic signal to provide modern equipment with increased visibility for all modes of transportation. Dedicated left turn lanes are proposed on all four approaches to the intersection. An additional right turn lane is proposed on the eastbound approach of Lowell Street. Bicycle lanes will be provided on all four approaches. New or rehabilitated sidewalk, ADA/AAB accessible ramps, crosswalks and pedestrian signal equipment is proposed on all four approaches to the intersection. Curbing and drainage improvements are included. Utility poles will be relocated and/or equipment consolidated. Mill and overlay of the pavement is anticipated within the project limits - 1600 feet of Lowell Street and 1000 feet of Woburn Street. TEC conducted a Road Safety Audit (RSA) for the intersection on December 12, 2017 to determine intersection deficiencies and potential improvements. The proposed project mitigates many of the safety issues identified during the RSA.
