Construction Start Date: September 2022
Anticipated Completion Date: December 2024
Project Description: Academy Boulevard between Bijou Street and Airport Road is a six-lane road with poor pavement and with curb, gutter, and median conditions requiring replacement. Poor drainage is contributing to pavement decline, so a new storm water system is being designed to alleviate ponding issues. Planned improvements incorporate recommendations from the Great Streets Corridor Study, including a 10-foot-wide multi-use path. The project length of 4,700 feet includes full depth reclamation paving, a new 24” waterline, and intersection improvements.
