Segment 2 Reconstruction Is Underway:
On Wednesday, April 9, construction on Segment 2 of the 32nd Avenue South Reconstruction Project will begin. Segment 2 extends from west of 22nd Street South to east of 15th Street South and will be constructed in three phases.
Work will begin with the closure Phase 1, which includes the area from west of 15th Street South to east of 17th Street South. This phase will be closed off with a posted detour route for eastbound traffic along 35th Avenue South and westbound traffic along 27th Avenue South.
Motorists should expect delays, reduced lanes, and shifting traffic patterns. Construction signage will be posted to guide drivers safely through the work zone.
All businesses will remain accessible, and pedestrian access will be maintained on at least one side of the street throughout the project.
Overall Project Map:
Project Overview:
The purpose of this project is to improve quality and safety for both pedestrians and drivers for years to come. We will be updating the existing roadway, pedestrian, and utility infrastructure. The more notable changes we will be making with this project include:
• New five-lane concrete roadway section to replace the existing roadway, which has reached the end of its useful lifespan and is becoming maintenance intensive.
• Downsizing the existing grass and paved medians to help create additional boulevard space for sidewalks and trees.
• Upsized storm sewer drainage system to help handle flooding concerns along the corridor.
• Water main improvements.
• Replacing or rehabilitating the sanitary sewer pipe to extend its usable lifespan.
