VDOT UPC 115245. Project scope includes improvements to the General Booth Boulevard/Oceana Boulevard intersection to increase the capacity of the intersection and improve safety and traffic flow. Reconstruction of the General Booth Boulevard/Oceana Boulevard intersection will combine two traditional improvements dual right turn lanes in the eastbound approach, and modification to the lane configuration of the southbound approach. Eastbound Oceana Boulevard will be reconfigured to remove the existing free-flow, right-turn lane and convert the existing through-and-right lanes to dual right-turn lanes controlled by the signal. The existing eastbound left-turn lane will be extended approximately 350 feet west to Eaglewood Drive and
configured as a through/left-turn lane. Southbound General Booth Boulevard will be reconfigured to include a third through- lane. The existing southbound, right-turn lane will become the new through-lane, and a new southbound right-turn lane will be installed. Existing signals for southbound General Booth Boulevard and eastbound Oceana Boulevard will be relocated to accommodate the new right-turn lanes in each direction. The remaining approaches and signals will remain in their current form. Pedestrian facility and signal modifications, and relocation of utility poles will also be required.
