Project Description:

This project involves the reconstruction of Pryor Road from Scherer Road to Longview Road. Though right-of-way for the ultimate improvements is acquired, only interim improvements are being constructed at this time. The ultimate improvements (expanding the road to a four-lane arterial) are unfunded. The schedule for those improvements will depend on future development in the area.

Project Rationale:

Pryor Road is a major north-south corridor in the western portion of the City. The projected increase in traffic in this area, due to commercial development at Hwy 50 & I-470 and the construction of an interchange at Pryor and I- 470, warrants the need for improvements.

Status Details:

Pryor Road Improvements: Pryor Road (Scherer to Longview)and Scherer (Pryor to Ward) was opened to traffic on July 26, 2010. Pryor Road will remain a two lane road, each lane has been widened to 12 feet and a 6 foot dirt shoulder was added. Turn lanes on Pryor have been added at each of the intersections.
