Git’er done, please! It would save so many minutes, hours, and days, boost the flow of business, business more efficient, less accidents, and even lives saved to streamline that which has to go around the elbow to get to the knee to traverse. The land is there. Use it for the far greater useful use of public property for the public good.

Not sure where they would put exit ramps at the Beulah Rd overpass with 2 large subdivisions on both sides next to the interstate. With the beltway in mind it makes since to go with the Issac Ln extension. Now that the state is in control of Beulah Rd north of 9 mile as well as Issacs, state and federal money will front the cost.
IMO.. I think they should get going on the West Kingsfield extension over to Beulah and bring the new exit end point there.That way the beltway could start from there.
That said, if they plan ahead then I really dont see the need to have that clover leaf exit down to the existing W. Kingsfield.. Just a waste of money since the beltway is going to happen sooner or later.

They don’t want to use Beulah Rd because the county owns the land on the north side of the interstate. They lease that property so they don’t want to give up a dime of that. It would only make sense to use Beulah Rd.
And about the trucks dodging scales.. they already do that by going to Hwy 112/Muskogee Rd. Which we are fed up with. They are turning a much needed simple job into a maze. We need an exit on Beulah Rd badly.

How does this involve the planned Beulah Beltway which is/was supposed to go right next to Beulah Road. Is the Beulah Beltway still in the works?

Do they not realize that would put an exit for trucks before the weight station.The amount of truck traffic getting off to avoid the scale and inspections will be Hugh!.

Hopefully they will not start anything until they make certain everyone is happy with their plans.

This will ensure we never get beyond the planning stages and save lots of money.

All this will do is just dump more traffic onto the 1960′ish engineered surface streets. A band-aid.

I’m assuming FDOT will modify the Northbound terminus from the current W Kingsfield Rd location into the future realigned W Kingsfield Rd.

I wonder if Issacs Lane lines up with one of the proposed Beulah/I-10/Hwy 29 Beltway routes they posted a while back? If so this might explain a lot for the route.

Well, you see the great planning they did on Pine Forest Road at Wilde Lake and Detroit Blvd. I can”t wait to see the fiasco there going to inflict on Beulah Road ,Kingsfield and Issacs Lane.
