 75th AVENUE AND THUNDERBIRD ROAD INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS (EN00089)

Project Description
75th Avenue and Thunderbird Road is the fifth busiest intersection in the City of Peoria.  Currently, the two lanes in each direction, with single left-turn lanes, has been causing longer delays and the traffic engineers have concluded that the intersection needs to be improved to maintain traffic flow.  This project will widen the intersection to include three through lanes in each direction, with dual left-turn lanes.  There will also be a bike lane and new sidewalks.  Other improvements include upgraded lighting, raised medians and improved signal equipment to enhance the safety of the intersection.
