Priority 4: Denmark Road Safety lmprovements <br />Safety countermeasures and roadway improvements of a sharp corner with steep embankments at MP <br />3,57 would aid to prevent run-off the road accidents on this specific road as it has a history of accidents at <br />this location and has been identified in previous road safety plans as well as the six-year transportation <br />improvement plan. 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 structure crossings to the prolect for <br />efficiency and cost-effective contract letting. This segment includes five bridges with failing rails and/or no <br />rails within maintenance District K: 79143-08,79144,79261-O8,79262-08,79351-OB. Alternatives to <br />address these crossings may include structure widening, structure replacement and the addition of barrier <br />and guardrail. Recent improvements at this site include an extension of the culvert at MP 3.57 under <br />Denmark Road by approximately 15ft and the addition of rock to prevent undercutting of road. The <br />shoulders of the roadway were also built up by approximately 2ft on the outside of the corner and 3ft on the <br />inside of the corner. Further countermeasures such as those mentioned in this section are needed as this <br />work itself does not prevent run-0ff the road events, <br />Denmark Road from MP 0.50 to MP 3,08 has several structures in need of adequate railing, <br />Alternatives to address these structures may include structure widening or structure replacement. <br />Denmark Road from MP 3.08 to MP 4.35 has steep curves, both vertical and horizontal. The road <br />narrows greatly at the corner with steep embankments on both sides of the road. The <br />countermeasures in place are minimal and no rail is present at the corner. <br />Recent improvements include extension of the existing culvert and the addition of rock to prevent <br />undercutting of the roadway and shoulder buildup. <br />Denmark Road includes five bridges rated as Code 3. Bridge lDs are: 79143-OB, 79144,79261- <br />oB, 79262-08, 79351 -OB, <br />o <br />o <br />a <br />a <br />20
