Project Description
The proposed project is the next critical step of improvements proposed for the South Watt Ave. corridor between Florin Rd. and Jackson Rd. (State Route-16), increasing the capacity of the road way from a two-lane facility to a four-lane facility with bicycle, pedestrian, and transit accommodations. The ultimate configuration of the corridor will incorporate additional capacity improvements, widening the four-lane facility to a six-lane road way with similar multimodal accommodations.
The proposed 3-mile long project will:
- Add 2 through traffic lanes
- Add 6 miles of sidewalks and bike lanes
- Create turn outs for future transit stops
- Improve 5 signalized intersections
- Replace the Morrison Creek Bridge
