Today 470 is a two lane with no shoulders head-on risk death trap, not unusual to be passed by someone doing 90+. To get one car ahead...

And there have been horrific fatalities at the 470/501 intersection this will mitigate.

Central Parkway will be a 4 Lane divided highway with traffic calming curves similar to Morse and Buena Vista. Reducing speed from 55 to 35 is less than a 5 min difference in drive time from 501 to the Turnpike.
