From the StoneCrest side, this will add 3 lanes at the intersection to provide 2 ingress lanes, 2 left turn lanes, 2 straight thru lanes, and 1 right turn lane. (Total 7 lanes). This project is currently under construction with an anticipated substantial completion late May 2019 and a final completion of September 2019.

WEAKLEY LANE IMPROVEMENTS AT SWAN DRIVE
This project adds left turn lanes for all four legs of the intersection. This project will provide better turning movements for the large trucks and allow vehicles to get through this intersection quicker.
