Centerville Road between Longhill Road and Richmond Road (Route 60)
Centerville Road is a growing area. The study area includes Centerville Road between Richmond Road (Route 60) and Longhill Road, and on Richmond Road (Route 60) between Lightfoot Road (Route 646) and the Humelsine Parkway (Route 199) westbound ramps. This study will look for ways to extend the functionality of the roadway. It will focus on improving roadway and pedestrian safety, mitigating congestion, preserving capacity (to keep traffic flowing smoothly), multimodal accessibility/connectivity (bicycle, pedestrian and transit), and transportation demand management (TDM) needs. It is intended to assess mid-term to long-term challenges/opportunities and will identify project recommendations that can be advanced for federal, state and local funding opportunities.
The Phase 1 survey regarding current transportation needs on Centerville Road, between Richmond Road (Route 60) and Longhill Road, and on Richmond Road (Route 60), between Lightfoot Road (Route 646) and the Humelsine Parkway (Route 199) westbound ramps, was completed in May 2025. The study team will use the input obtained from the public to better focus on solutions and develop alternatives to address the identified needs.
