Project Overview
Construction is underway to widen approximately 2.3 miles of Allen Road from two lanes to a four-lane, median-divided roadway from Stantonsburg Road to Dickinson Avenue Extension (U.S. 13) in Greenville.
The improvements include upgrading the intersections at Allen and Stantonsburg roads and Allen Road and Dickinson Avenue Extension, and installing bicycle lanes and sidewalks.
The project would improve traffic flow and safety on Allen Road. The roadway is nearing its capacity, meaning that it can no longer handle the amount of daily traffic. The project would also provide relief from projected traffic growth.
