Project Description

The 23rd & O'Connell project includes geometric improvements at the intersection of 23rd Street & O'Connell Road, signalization of the 23rd Street & O'Connell Road intersection, concrete pavement, concrete curb and gutter, 2" mill and overlay, and storm sewer work.  Major items of the proposed geometric improvements include:

1. An eastbound left turn lane at 23rd Street & O'Connell Road

2. Concrete medians on 23rd Street

3. Then construction of a new approach for O'Connell Road north of the intersection of 23rd Street & O'Connell Road.

 

Traffic will be maintained with two lanes eastbound and westbound throughout the project, and access will be maintained to all adjacent properties.  Because of the lead time to order traffic poles, construction of the traffic signal will be completed by May, 2013.  All other construction is anticipated to be completed by March 30th, 2013.

 

Project Cost / Funding

The project will be funded with General Obligation Bonds from Resolution No. 6940.
