Traffic volumes have increased significantly on Snider Road resulting in congestion during peak traffic periods throughout this corridor. In 2016, staff proposed a two-phased approach to the Snider Road Improvement project that would coincide with funding, right-of-way costs, grants, etc. Phase 1 construction added a northbound and southbound lane on Snider Road creating a five-lane section between US Route 42 and Tylersville Road. Phase 2 improvements would add a center turn lane between Western Row Road and US Route 42, including storm sewers, bike path, streetlights, street trees, sidewalk, curb and gutter, utility relocation and right-of-way acquisition.   

The roadway project is anticipated to begin in fall of 2026 with completion in 2027.

Current Status: The I&O railroad is scheduled to replace the existing crossing at some point in 2026. Private utility companies will be performing relocations along the corridor all throughout 2026. These projects will require temporary lane closures throughout the workdays. Motorists should expect delays as these relocation projects occur.
