PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Churchill Roosevelt/Uriah Butler Highway Interchange.

Package APackage A was completed adding an additional three (3) lane bypass, around the right turn lanes and was undertaken together with the construction of a bridge over the San Juan River.

Package BOn May 1st 2009, Package B, an 18-metre high & 600-metre long bridge over the CRH/UBH Intersection that runs from the vicinity of the San Juan River Bridge to Grand Bazaar was opened. The height of the bridge facilitates the separation of the East-West and North-Bound sections of the Interchange.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Package B also included the construction of a West to South ramp, a New Diamond interchange and service roads at the Bamboo intersection. All of which are contributing factors in alleviating the traffic congestion East- West and North South routes.

Package CPackage C consists of the construction of a North to South Bridge that is located in the vicinity, south of the Churchill Roosevelt Highway / Uriah Butler Highway (CRH/UBH) Intersection. The design removes the major UBH north/south link across CRH and continues to provide service by means of an overpass. The design maintains access to Grand Bazaar Mall by an exit ramp onto a service road off of Westbound CRH and a connection to the UBH overpass accessible for traffic approaching from all directions.
