Current conditions along Mountain Industrial Boulevard (MIB)
- 4-lane urban principal arterial with two 12-foot-wide lanes of travel in each direction and a center two-way left-turn lane
- A sidewalk exists along the east side of MIB from Greer Circle to Roger Marten Way
- A sidewalk exists along the west side of MIB from the southern intersection with Hammermill Road to Elmdale Drive/Roger Marten Way
- Signalized intersections include: MIB & US 78/SR 410 eastbound ramps, MIB and US 78/SR 410westbound ramps, and MIB and Hammermill Road (south)
- Intersections with stop signs include: MIB and Sarr Parkway, MIB and Hirsch Drive, and MIB andHammermill Road (north)
- 761 collisions have been reported from 2017 to 2021, with 2 crashes resulting in fatality, 292 crashes resulting in injury, and 467 crashes resulting in property damage only
Without this Project (No Build):
- Collisions would not be reduced on Mountain Industrial Boulevard
- No installation of turn lanes on the eastbound and westbound exit ramps from US 78/SR 410/StoneMountain Freeway
- Right on Red will be allowed from US 78 ramps onto Mountain Industrial Boulevard
Proposed Solution:
The proposed project involves the installation of a narrow median along Mountain Industrial Boulevard between Greer Circle and Elmdale Drive/Roger Marten Way, with the exception of the bridge deck spanning over US 78/ SR 410/Stone Mountain Freeway. The project also includes the realignment of the eastbound and westbound exit ramps from US 78/SR 410/Stone Mountain Freeway and the installation of an additional turn lane on both ramps. Traffic signal modifications are also included at both ramp intersections which involve converting the left turn phasing from Mountain Industrial Boulevard onto the US 78 ramps to protected-only and implementing No Right Turn on red conditions from the US 78 ramps onto Mountain Industrial Boulevard. Lastly, the intersection of Mountain Industrial Boulevard and Sarr Parkway will be permanently closed. The total project length is approximately 0.8 miles.
Benefits of Project Implementation:
- Improved safety along Mountain Industrial Boulevard
- Reduced number of fatal and injury crashes
- Improved ramp intersections by protected-only left turns onto Mountain Industrial Boulevard, extendingthe deceleration lanes, and realigning the exist ramps to reduce the skew
- Additional turn lanes from US 78/SR 410/Stone Mountain Freeway ramps
