City officials said in the news release that the purpose of the project is to make South Limestone Street “a safer transportation corridor that serves as a gateway to Springfield for pedestrians and motorists, while fostering economic development in the region.”
They also added that South Limestone Street would remain open during construction, but some lanes would be closed while the improvements were built.
The proposed project aims to install a raised median from Leffel Lane to John Street as well as install left turn loons at the Leffel Lane and John Street intersections. A loon is defined as a widened location near an intersection so that vehicles can make U-Turns from the left turn lane.
