Airport Way Beautification Project
Phase I Estimated Completion: Mid Summer 2008
|
The Project
Begining on Tuesday, April 1, 2008, traffic on Airport Way will travel on two lanes, rather than four lanes.
Currently, Airport Way has two lanes in either direction between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard/Charter Way and Tenth Street. Traffic will be moved to the outer edges of the Airport Way roadway to allow construction of a new median. Construction crews will remove existing roadway, install curbs, and grade for new asphalt in center of raodway. This stage of the construction will last until mid-summer of 2008.
The work is being done as part of the Airport Way Beautification Project. A project design has been approved which will include improvements such as decorative hardscape, landscaping, fully landscaped median, street curb, gutters, and a meansering walk with landscaping. The project will also include traffic signal modifications at Eighth and Tenth Street, street lighting, paving and drainage. An associated project will install a traffic signal on Airport Way at Second Street. A public art piece will be placed at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard/Charter Way. The city has contracted with DSS Company for construction of the project.
Please use caution while driving through the construction site |
