Ragsdale Road Widening

Project Description

Ragsdale Road is a heavily traveled arterial road located in the southeast portion of Brentwood. Increasing traffic in southeast Brentwood, driven both by developments within the city limits and from areas east and south of Brentwood, is transforming this previously low-volume rural roadway into a more heavily used route. The current design of the roadway, in terms of right-of-way width, shoulders, and horizontal/vertical curves, requires improvements to accommodate the increased traffic volume and ensure the safe passage of motorists.

This project involves widening Ragsdale Road between the intersection with Split Log Road and the Glen Ellen subdivision. The expanded roadway will consist of a 3-lane curb and gutter road with a center turn lane and intermittent raised median. A 10-foot bike/pedestrian path behind a 5-foot grass strip will be provided on the south side, with a 6-foot sidewalk on the opposite side. Construction on the overall project began in October 2024, with a timely bonus completion expected by the end of calendar year 2026. The date of final completion is set for April of 2027.
