The South Commercial Street Extension will create a new connection from Granite Street to Elm Street by crossing over the active rail corridor south of the Delta Dental Stadium. The alternative route will alleviate congestion during peak hours, improve emergency response times to the south Millyard and provide an alternative access point for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists attending events at Delta Dental Stadium and the Hilton Garden Inn.
A unique-shaped roundabout, dubbed a “peanut,” is being pitched for the intersection of South Willow Street and Queen City Avenue as part of a $30 million Manchester transportation improvement project.
