Description of Improvements

The 4th Street widening project will provide 7-feet wide sidewalks on each side of the street, and 5-feet wide buffered bike lanes on each side. Retaining walls will be installed to facilitate the new sidewalk and bike lanes on each side. A new bridge will be placed over 4th Street to replace the undersized 36-inch culvert. This new bridge will connect travel lanes, the new sidewalk and the new bike lanes east and west of Brezee Creek
