This project is the final segment associated with the East Beltway project. 

The East Beltway project has improved 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 Steven Road West project will construct a new Steven Road segment from Norwood Drive to State Orchard 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.

The project is eligible for Federal funding from remaining earmarks of $1.2M and the City’s allocation of STBG funds.  Federal funds will support 80% of the improvement costs, and the remaining 20% of construction costs will be paid by the City using sales tax funds.

The project schedule is as follows: Construction Start May 2023
Construction End June 2024

 

Recommendation

Approval of this resolution to award the project to RPL Utility, LLC.  This project will complete the final segment of the East Beltway.
