Construction Alert – April 2024

The Broadway Complete Streets Project is sending out a community alert. They are going into an important phase that will impact main roadways around Land Park. Please review the information below and change your driving route accordingly.

Eastbound Right Turn Restrictions – Land Park Drive & Riverside Drive – 4/15/24-5/15/24 (one month)

• At each of these intersections, the free right turn movement is being removed with this project to make the intersections more friendly to bikes and pedestrians.
• To accomplish this the “porkchop” islands will need to be removed and the curb line will be extended out to where the “porkchop” islands are currently located.
• This is not an easy construction effort as the intersections are controlled by traffic signals which reside within the “porkchop” island.
• To accomplish the work we need to close down right turn movements for eastbound Broadway traffic for approximately one month while the curb line is reconstructed and new signal equipment is installed before we can remove the “porkchop” and existing signal equipment.
• We anticipate these closures will be in place from 4/15-5/15 (one month)
• Several detour routes will be usable for passenger cars. The detour route that we place signs for will be appropriate for larger vehicles as well. 

• We have created the attached detour exhibit showing the locations of these turn restrictions and the proposed signed detours. The exhibit also denotes alternate routes which will help motorists avoid the longer detours required for larger vehicles.
• We are engaging with the City PIO to spread the word through the various channels available to them and reach out to media outlets as well.
• Our construction team has also placed message signs (today) at each of these intersections warning eastbound motorists of the upcoming work and turning restrictions.

After these operations, we will be quickly moving into the grinding and paving operations (end of May). We will have more awareness around those but wanted to start with the right-hand turn restrictions first. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns about these items (or any other project issues for that matter): www.aimconsultingco.com.
