This project will consist of approximately 1.3km of shoulder sealing and the addition of three dedicated right turn lanes at junctions to reduce intersection crashes and reduce the severity of the S-curve near Cassidy’s Road junction. At this site there were 29 crashes over a five year period (15 casualty crashes; 14 property damage crashes). These occurred in three clusters:
than one crash factor associated with a crash.
