Project Schedule
Back to topProject Overview
Phase 1: From Pershing Street to County Road F66
The existing Phase 1 pavement, originally built in the 1960s and last resurfaced in 1997, has reached the end of its service life. After decades of use, the road shows extensive wear, including cracks, joint deterioration, and numerous patch repairs.
Improvements include:
- Pavement replacement
- Improved median crossings for maintenance and emergency detours at the I-80 interchange
Phase 2: From Lyon Street to Pershing Street in Avoca
Phase 2 reconstruction covers both urban and rural roadway segments, and will address long-standing issues with pavement deterioration and inadequate drainage. The current roadway is in poor condition, with crumbling asphalt edges and insufficient drainage. Over the years, the pavement has been overlaid multiple times on its original brick base, and the underlying profile likely dates back more than a century.
Improvements include:
- Pavement replacement
- Improved drainage and reduction of standing water
