Description
This project has enhanced the overall safety and ability of the traveling public to move through an area that previously was congested and had a high accident rate.
The 2.3 mile long safety improvement project consisted of reconstruction of the existing four lane highway. Work consisted of slightly modifying the roadway alignment and adding two jughandle type intersections with traffic signals to better maintain access and provide U-turns for access to local businesses. A concrete median barrier and widening were installed the entire length of the project to maintain proper sight distance. Drainage of the project area was significantly improved by installation of new cross pipes and storm sewers.
Larson Design Group was responsible for complete development of the roadway plans and performed construction services throughout the entire construction phase of the project. Close communication was ongoing with the local Water and Sewer Authority to coordinate the necessary relocation of their 24" waterline facility.
