Kings Island Drive Roadway & Safety Improvements

To support increasing traffic demands, as well as the development of a new, $156 million 60-bed hospital and medical office complex in Mason, LJB designed roadway improvements for this 30-acre site along the I-71 Innovation Corridor. To address the necessary improvements and accommodate the hospital opening, the LJB team employed an “all hands on deck” approach to finish the design of more than 1 mile of improvements in only 9 months. The design included additional through and turn lanes, upgrades to existing traffic signals in the area, and a new signal at the main site access driveway on Kings Island Drive. Utility coordination, maintenance of traffic and pedestrian safety were other key aspects of this project.
