The West Camden Bypass project consists of constructing a a new roadway, to the west of US13. The roadway will begin on Willow Grove Road (SR10), just east of the railroad tracks, and continue east to US13. Connections will be made at South Street, Upper King Road/S. Main Street and King Boulevard with roundabouts. The tie in at US13 will utilize the existing Wawa entrance road and will connect to the East Camden Bypass. The roadway is designed for all users and includes bike lanes and a shared-use path within the project limits. DART Bus stops are also incorporated into the project to accommodate transit users.
Proposed Improvements
- Proposed roadway will consist of 11’ travel lanes with 10’ shoulder/bike lanes in each direction.
- Three roundabouts are proposed at the connections to South Street, Upper King Road/S. Main Street, and King Boulevard.
- The intersection with Upper King Road and Voshell Mill Road will be modified to a right-in, right-out only. All left turns will be eliminated from this intersection. These movements will now be made at the roundabout.
- Bicycles and pedestrians will benefit from a shared-use path. This path will be constructed along the north side of the new roadway starting at South Street and continuing to the intersection of US13. An additional shared-use path on the south side of the roadway will be constructed between Upper King Road and US13. Path will be tied into new and existing sidewalks along all intersecting roadways.
- Pedestrian facilities will be provided at each intersection and roundabout within the project limits.
- DART Bus stop will be constructed on South Street near the tie-in with the proposed roadway.
- Roadway lighting will be provided at all intersections and roundabouts within the project limits.
- The project utilizes both open and closed drainage systems that will tie into four new stormwater management facilities and the extension of an existing stormwater management facility within the project limits.
