Purpose
These projects are on the arterial street system and are necessitated by the traffic demands of large commercial and residential developments east and west of I-29 along 52nd Avenue South. This project is to convert the current rural roadway with ditches into an elevated urban roadway section. This section will correct several deficiencies, including insufficient capacity, inadequate access and deteriorated pavement. These improvements will provide access to allow development to occur in this area.

Project Completion
Reconstruction is scheduled to be complete by approximately Nov. 16, 2008.
