Welcome!
Thank you for visiting the SR 299 Improvements Project (from Catherine Street to SR 1) website. This project will widen the roadway corridor, improve traffic capacity and operations, add pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and improve safety.
We will complete the project in nine phases to maintain access and safety throughout the corridor. Visit this website for regular updates regarding the current and upcoming phases. We are currently working in Phase 5 and Phase 7. Please see below for more information.
Current Active Work Area (Phase 5 & 7)
Traffic Advisory:
Beginning on or about 7/7/23 traffic will be shifted to the south from Catherine Street to Cleaver Farms Road.
Traffic Advisory:
Between 7/24/23 and 7/26/23, weather permitting, traffic on SR 299 will be shifted into Phase 5 between Cleaver Farms Road and the SR 1 interchange. Eastbound traffic will be against the south curb and westbound traffic will be against the north curb while work is conducted in the median area.
Phase 5
During Phase 5, construction of the center median on SR 299 from Ashley Shopping Plaza to SR 1 will occur. For the duration of this time, there will be one lane in each direction. The center median island will be used for traffic calming and safety improvements. Pedestrians will have access to all sidewalks in this area and will not be detoured.
Dove Run Boulevard Detour
For about 3 days, a detour will be in place for Dove Run Boulevard that will direct traffic from SR 299 to use Brick Mill Road to access Dove Run Boulevard.
Phase 7
During Phase 7, construction of the north side of SR 299 from Bay Health Driveway to Ashley Shopping Plaza, New Street, west side of Cleaver Farms Road, and southwest corner at Catherine Street will occur. Work will include reconstructing the existing roadway and constructing curb, sidewalk, and drainage features. The bus stop for DART Route 43 on westbound SR 299 at Greenhill Carwash will be temporarily closed.
Pedestrian Detour
A pedestrian detour will be in place for the construction of the curb ramp at the southwest corner of Catherine St. The remaining corners of the intersection will be utilized for pedestrians.
New Street Detour
For about 3 weeks, a detour will be in place for New Street that will direct traffic from New Street to use E. Lake Street and N. Catherine Street or Cleaver Farms Road and E. Ashland Street. Pedestrian access to New Street will be closed during this detour.
