Major improvements are already underway on the Lincoln/Monroe Street couplet from 8th to 17th Avenues, and more are coming. Next year, the second phase of the project begins on 2nd to 8th Avenues.
Work is set to begin in the spring of 2015. Crews will be working on full-depth pavement removal and will use a thicker section of rock base and asphalt for the roadway. Concrete will be used on Monroe from 7th to 4th Avenues to provide some added durability on the steep hill, which sees its fair share of wear and tear during the winter months. The project will include new curbs in some areas, pedestrian lighting, ADA accessible curb ramps, and the installation of around 45 trees and landscaping to address stormwater runoff. The project also calls for work on the new storm line; work on the storm conveyor system, and the replacement of a water main.
Take a closer look at various features of the project:
Construction on the project will happen in three main phases. Here's what you need to know if you live in the area or drive through there regularly:
The major work on Lincoln/Monroe is expected to continue through much of next year's construction season. Visit the project page for more information.
