The West Boulevard Project includes the construction of approximately 1.2 miles of the future West Blvd by realigning existing Byrum Drive and existing Piney Top Drive from the intersection of Steele Creek Road and West Blvd to the intersection of West Blvd and Piney Top Drive.  The Project includes construction of a new intersection of proposed West Blvd and Byrum Drive and a new intersection of proposed West Blvd and Piney Top Drive.  Disciplines will include roadway, hydraulics, erosion control, signals, traffic management, pavement marking, signing, utility design, and utility relocation.  Existing portions of West Blvd between Steele Creek Road and Piney Top Drive will be removed as part of a separate project.

The purpose of this project is to increase capacity along Rea Road. Capacity will be increased by utilizing the right turn lane drops and median to develop an additional NB and SB through lane along Rea Road between the I-485 ramps and Williams Pond Lane. This project will also result in increased turn lane capacity and intersection improvements at Piper Station Drive and Ballantyne Commons Parkway. Pedestrian safety and mobility will be improved by providing sidewalks on both sides of Rea Road. Other specific improvements include: curb and gutter, accessible ramps, and driveways.
