US 69/Chinn Lane Intersection Improvements - Jefferson County
Construction project overview
The US 69/Chinn Lane construction project is located at the intersection of US 69 and Chinn Lane in Beaumont, Jefferson County. The project previously included the construction of a roundabout; however, after further review, the intersections will now be changed to an all-way stop with illuminated, flashing stop signs.
US 69/Chinn Lane intersection design and traffic operation
Stop signs will be installed on the US 69 north and southbound frontage roads at the intersections with Chinn Road. Stop signs are already located along Chinn Road at the intersections with the US 69 frontage roads. Traffic will now be required to stop whether traveling on Chinn Road or the frontage roads.
Project goals and benefits of roundabouts
The goals of the project are to increase safety. The project should reduce the number of crashes; studies show bring a significant reduction in injury crashes, incapacitating injury crashes and fatality crashes.
Next steps
- Stop signs and rumble strips will be installed in January.
