Project Scope

The Pentz Road Widening project will widen Pentz Road from Skyway to Pearson Road to include a 12-foot-wide center turn lane, widened shoulders, and a multi-use pathway. The project builds upon the FHWA disaster recovery efforts that are rehabilitating the existing roadway pavement.

Project Description

Pentz Road serves as a primary north-south ingress/egress route for Town residents. Widening the road will improve evacuation efficiency along this route, provide an adequate shoulder to park disabled vehicles and reduce fire fuel proximity to the traveling public. The project proposes a 10-foot-wide Class I multi-use facility with 2-foot shoulders, lighting, storm drain accommodations, ADA ramps, and crossing surface improvements.
