17 <br /> <br />Priority 3: Denmark Road Safety Improvements <br />Safety countermeasures and roadway improvements of a sharp corner with steep embankments at MP 3.57 would <br />aid to prevent run-off-road accidents on this specific road as it has a history of accidents at this location and was <br />identified in previous road safety plans. The priority level is lower than other projects because it only targets a specific <br />location and road characteristic. The county included multiple road segments to provide improvements to this entire <br />roadway corridor, from MP 0.50 to MP 4.35 which includes bundling bridge rail improvements to the project for <br />efficiency and cost-effective contract letting. This segment includes five Code 3 bridges within maintenance district K: <br />79143-ob, 79144, 79261-ob, 79262-ob, 79351-ob. Recent improvements at this site include extension of the culvert <br />under Denmark Rd by about 15ft and the addition of rock to prevent undercutting of road. The shoulders of the <br />roadway were also built up by 2 ft on the outside of the corner and 3 ft on inside of the corner. Further <br />countermeasures such as those mentioned in this section are needed as this work itself does not prevent run off road <br />events. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
