SOUTHPOINTE CONSTRUCTION ON SCHEDULE WITH NEW LANES. The road work which will widen 5,400 feet of the park's main road, also calls for the addition of turning lanes and traffic signals at several intersections.
The work will add a lane in each direction of Southpointe Boulevard from Technology Drive south near the Southpointe Chamber office (Bailey building) to the railroad tracks near the park's south entrance.
The upgrade will include the addition of four turning lanes and a traffic signal at that corner as well as four turning lanes and a signal at its intersection with Consol Drive. A turning lane and traffic signal also will be added at the intersection with Technology Drive south. "If everything works out, the paving will be done in October," said William Sember, the authority's director of operations.
The work also include additional paving on Southpointe Boulevard north. When the Range Resources and Embassy Park projects are completed later this year, the number of employees in the new section of the park will jump to 2,000 making the total close to 7,000 working in Southpointe. That's 16,000 cars entering and leaving Southpointe 9AM to 6PM daily.
