The Florence Town Council recently heard an overview of planned projects under the Town’s proposed Capital Improvement Plan, and one of the largest concerns is changes to Hunt Highway.
The $8M project would widen the curve at Florence Anthem and create a major redesign of Hunt’s intersection with Attaway Road.
Hunt would be widened to four lanes from the curve to one-quarter mile beyond Attaway and create turn lanes at the intersection. Hunt will move approximately 400 feet north since the roads need to intersect at 90-degree angles to create a safe high-capacity corridor.
Planning officials said the plan was the most cost-effective way to ensure the highest safety for the intersection. Staff is currently considering ways to fund the project.
Florence plans to advertise for a construction manager at risk sometime in April. (Source)
