Lavista Road Corridor Intersection Improvements - Dekalb County, GA
The project was the improvement of Lavista Road at the intersections of Oak Grove Road and Oak Grove Drive. The improvements are located at the intersection of three roadways: Lavista Road, Oak Grove Road, and Oak Grove Drive. The improvements included realigning the two intersecting side roads to meet at a common intersection, adding appropriate auxiliary lanes at the new intersection approaches, improving existing safety conditions at the intersection, improving traffic and pedestrian control, and adding sidewalk for a distance of 0.5-mile along the Lavista Road approach. The realignment of Oak Grove Road and Oak Grove Drive will eliminate the approximate 100 foot separation between the intersection points and provide a minimum intersection angle of 70 degrees for both approaches. Due to existing land use constraints, the majority of the side road realignment will be on the Oak Grove Road approach. The project is a federally funded GDOT project that also includes a raised landscaped median, pedestrian lighting, and shoulder landscaping, as well as other aesthetic improvements, to keep consistent with future corridor improvements along Lavista Road.
