Mooretown Road (Route 603) and Lightfoot Road (Route 646) between East Rochambeau Drive and north of Richmond Road (Route 60)
The study area includes Mooretown Road (Route 603) and Lightfoot Road (Route 646) between East Rochambeau Drive and north of Richmond Road (Route 60). The Lightfoot Road interchange has increased usage with housing, recreational and shopping developments. This study will look at ways to improve the traffic flow in this area, as the route from the interchange to Richmond Road (Route 60) and other shopping areas is not direct, creating several congested intersections. This study will focus on improving roadway and pedestrian safety, multimodal accessibility/connectivity (bicycle, pedestrian and transit), and transportation demand management (TDM) needs. It is intended to assess mid-term to long-term challenges/opportunities and will identify project recommendations that can be advanced for federal, state and local funding opportunities.
The Phase 1 survey regarding current transportation needs on Mooretown Road (Route 603) and Lightfoot Road (Route 646) between E. Rochambeau Drive and north of Richmond Road (Route 60), was completed in May 2025. The study team will use the input obtained from the public to better focus on solutions and develop alternatives to address the identified needs.
