they will only be able to turn right and travel south
Especially if the intersections don't allow U-turns... a careful review of the plans suggest that subdivision residents who lose their highway access to a cul-de-sac or right-in-right-out configuration will be able to travel through their subdivisions to a full highway intersection.
These are the same 2010 drawings that I've been referring to, but overlaid on satellite imagery so that it's obvious which TMKs will suddenly have the highway outside their front door. Even funnier, houses have been built since then, DOT didn't bother to buy the lots while they were still empty...
Fortunately for County, this is a State project, so the rules about "cannot improve private road" are magically superseded.
Unfortunately for residents of these "private" roads, they're about to be made into a bypass route, with all the traffic that implies.
This project passes through lots of front yards, so it only takes a couple of landowners forcing eminent domain to drag the project out beyond our lifetimes.
