The Georgia Department of Transportation will soon close one section of the cloverleaf intersection of Bradley Park Drive and the J.R. Allen Parkway for safety reasons, city officials say.

The move will be a short-term solution to what has been a frequent site of accidents and near misses, David Arrington said. A long-term solution will be determined by the DOT and implemented at some point in the future.

Soon, traffic headed west on Bradley Park will no longer be able to enter J.R Allen heading west toward Phenix City via the cloverleaf. Instead, drivers will have to turn left onto the straight on ramp currently used only by east-bound traffic on Bradley Park, Arrington said.

Bradley Park Drive at that point is five lanes with a turning lane. The DOT, which will fully fund the project, will use the center lane for left turns for westbound traffic to access J.R. Allen, Arrington said.

”Based on accident history -- and there was one fatal accident at that location -- Georgia DOT has come back to us with a recommendation for a short-term solution for safety at the intersection,” Arrington said. “We all agree that there is a better long-term solution that we need to look for. When Georgia DOT does come back and we work with them, we’re going to be looking at the interchange as a whole, not just at this side.”

The short merging space drivers entering and exiting J.R. Allen face has long been a source of complaints and accidents, one of them fatal.
