New Collector Road Near Bypass Almost Complete



While workers clearly prove they are on the move, this new collector road through the west end of Salisbury looks very close to seeing pavement and completion. I must admit, it sure is going to make life a lot easier on this people living in Nithsdale and that end of town.

The road starts on Business US 50 (just after the split for the bypass)and goes to Brick Kiln road just past the Salisbury Dump. The 2nd phase will continue to Levin Dashield Road and then continue and stop at Crooked Oak Lane.

Nithsdale can get a completely new road built for their convienience, yet the city can't maintain the roads that are already here.

More FOB shit

This road is nowhere near complete. It might look that way from Rt 50 but if you come down to Brick Kiln Road you'll plainly see it's not ready to see traffic yet. The deer aren't anxious to see all the traffic either.

Where exactly on Crooked Oak is this thing going to tie in? Near the new development they just built, or down by the state fields?

The county page says there going to improve crooked oak, and put a traffic light at crooked oak and nanicoke and feed traffic that way.

Which kinds of ticks me off because I bought property on crooked oak, and until now had no idea is was going to become a cut through.. They already dropped the speed limit to thirty in the residential portion of it, and people still fly through going 65-70mph.... I've called the sherrifs department atleast a dozen times, and they have yet to do radar on this road! Its one thing to speed on the bypass or a highway, but its another to endanger peoples lives in a residential neighbrohood. The state police, county police, and city police need to stop worrying so much about speeders on the main roads and actually catch them doing this is neighbrohoods where people live.

I've even offered the sherrifs department my driveway as a place to sit, and they've not done a damn thing. Guess all were concerned with in this county is catching potheads on the bypass, so we can auction there shit and earn more money for the county.

Chances are, if you just bought property on Crooked Oak, the sellers probably knew of this and got over on you. It wont necessarily be a bad thing. The road is projected to enter on the sharp curve between the State AG fields and the new development. The road will be realigned in such a way that crooked oak will "T" into the collector road. This should help a little with the speeding. There is a hang up with right of way aquisition. It may end up in a condemnation situation.

I see NO advantage to this road, it will just create more problems on Nanticoke Road.
