Traffic Changes Coming: 23rd St at Eads, Route 1

Map of 23rd St and South Eads St

 

 

The County is preparing to implement traffic changes at the intersections of 23rd Street and South Eads Street and 23rd Street and Route 1 to address an increase in back-ups during morning peak periods. The re-striping of the intersections is anticipated to occur next week.

 

23rd Street and South Eads Street

In the northbound direction on South Eads at 23rd Street, a right turn pocket (lane) will be added to help facilitate right turns and lessen backups in the through lane. In order to add the right turn lane, three parking spaces will be removed on the South Eads/23rd Street corner. 

 

23rd Street and Route 1

In the eastbound direction on 23rd Street at Route 1, the current curbside lane that is a right-through lane will become a right-turn-only lane to improve traffic flow. Signal timing adjustments will be made to support this change at the time of re-marking the turn lane.

 

Bikeshare Station on Eads Street at 23rd Street

The County is developing a plan to relocate the Capital Bikeshare station on Eads Street north of 23rd, in order to re-stripe the southbound approach at the intersection to include a right-turn-only lane, a through lane, and a left-turn-only lane. This re-striping will first require installing pavement markings at the new station location and then moving the Bikeshare station. We anticipate relocating the station one block to the north, just north of the intersection with 22nd Street South.
