The Federally-Funded Route 206 Project
The federally-funded Route 206, Doctors Way to Valley Road project aims to create two travel lanes in each direction between Doctors Way and Valley Road. This will enhance safety and alleviate traffic congestion in the area. The project also includes the construction of a new median barrier, which will eliminate left turns to and from properties along the highway and direct turns onto newly signalized intersections and jughandles. This measure is expected to reduce turn-related crashes and optimize traffic flow.By implementing these changes, the project is set to have a significant impact on the traffic patterns and safety in Hillsborough. It is an important initiative that will benefit both commuters and residents in the area.
