This project represents the gateway to the CID and the Gas South District, a major destination that attracts over a million visitors a year. These improvements will reduce vehicle delays at the intersection, which are expected to increase with new development in the area.
Improvements include the following:
3 westbound lanes from Sugarloaf @ Gas South District entrance to I-85 southbound ramps
3 eastbound lanes from I-85 ramps to Sugarloaf Pkwy – 1 inside most lane drops to exclusive left at Sugarloaf @ Gas South District entrance
Dual lefts into Gas South District and triple lefts at southbound Satellite onto eastbound Sugarloaf
Mast arm signals at Sugarloaf @ Satellite and Sugarloaf @ Gas South
District entrance, pavers, and landscaping upgrades
Traffic flow and aesthetic improvements to the intersection of Sugarloaf Parkway at Satellite Boulevard along with the widening of Sugarloaf Parkway from I-85 up to the new signal at the Gas South District parking deck entrance.
Construction is complete.
