SR 503 / NE Rock Creek Rd Intersection Improvements

Project overview

This project improved safety at the intersection of State Route 503 and Northeast Rock Creek Road by installing a compact roundabout. After reviewing five-years of traffic data that included severe injuries, a fatality, and many cases of property damage, this location was identified for improvement using funds aimed at reducing and preventing serious injury and fatal crashes.

What to expect

During construction, travelers should expect intermittent daytime and nighttime single lane closures with flaggers, and delays of up to 20 minutes. The speed limit has been reduced from 55 mph to 40 mph between mileposts 13.18 and 14.19, and down again to 20 mph when the temporary traffic signal is activated. This reduced speed limit will be in place from Friday, July 15 through Friday, Nov. 1, 2024. 

Contractor crews constructed a compact roundabout at the SR 503 and Northeast Rock Creek Road intersection. Installing a roundabout here improved safety by keeping travelers moving through the area.
