The Haycock Road and Route 7 Intersection Improvements project will provide a curb-separated shared use path extension along the east side of Haycock Road from Leesburg Pike (Route 7) to Mustang Alley. This will provide direct access to Meridian High School and Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School. The path will be separated from the existing 6' concrete sidewalk, which will remain in place.

Reconfiguration of existing travel lanes at the intersection with Leesburg Pike (Route 7) is needed to accommodate the shared use path. The proposed improvements involve the following:

• Widening the northbound receiving lanes on the north leg of the intersection to 15 feet. The two northbound lanes will shift to the left. 
• Northbound left turn lanes will be provided at Magnolia Street and Mustang Alley.  
• The two northbound lanes and the shared use path will transition to the existing roadway and sidewalk north of Mustang Alley.
• Removal of the existing median on the north leg of the intersection (between Leesburg Pike/Route 7 and Mustang Alley) as necessary to accommodate the new path.
• The southbound Haycock Road will provide two through lanes (within the existing roadway curb and pavement) from just south of Magnolia Street to Mustang Alley.
• Between Magnolia Street and W Broad Street/Route 7, the southbound Haycock Road would provide one right turn lane, one through lane, and one left turn lane.

This project will be designed and constructed concurrently with the Shreve Road Shared Use Path project.
