Background/Discussion
The DOT federal aid funding agreements will allow the City to use federal funds for project costs.
The two projects will improve the transportation network in eastern Council Bluffs by completing Eastern Hills Drive between US Highway 6 and Iowa Highway 92, while providing improved connections to developments along Greenview Road, Steven Road, and Cottonwood Road. The continuity for the local transportation system will support future land development, increases the capacity of existing roads to accommodate traffic demands and improves emergency access.
Agreement No. 4-19-STBGU-001 is for City Project PW18-16B, Eastern Hills Drive Segment D Box Culverts. This project will construct box culverts for Segment D of Eastern Hills Drive from Highway 92 to State Orchard Road;
Agreement No. 4-19-STBGU-002 is for City Project PW19-16A, Eastern Hills Drive Segment D Roadway. This project will construct a new roadway from Highway 92 to State orchard Road.
The projects will be combined for construction. They are scheduled for a spring 2019 letting by the DOT.
