Gilbert Road and University Drive

District: 2
Category: Regional Transportation Plan

Project Description:
The intersection of Gilbert Road and University Drive currently
experiences significant congestion during peak hours. Gilbert
Road was previously widened to six lanes from a quarter-mile
south of University Drive to Southern Avenue. This project is a
Regional Transportation Plan project to mitigate traffic delay and
congestion and enhance safety. Specifically, this project will
extend the six-lane section on Gilbert Road, including a raised
median, north through the University Drive intersection. A third
through lane in each direction will be added on University drive in
addition to dual left turn lanes for all directions, bus pullouts on all
four corners, and a right turn lane for eastbound.
