Existing Conditions

This project will finish the Gravelly Lake loop with approximately 5,400 lineal feet (lf) of overlayed roadway surface, curb, gutter, sidewalks, shared use path, street lights, storm water systems, and a new roundabout to replace the existing traffic signal at the north end of Nyanza. This project finishes the sidewalk and shared use paths around Gravelly Lake and closing the loop from I-5 to the Lakewood Town Center. The roadway will require significant patching prior to overlay.

Summary of Improvements

  • Improves pedestrian safety;
  • Completes gap;
  • Replaces failing bridge/culvert;
  • Removes ADA barriers

Description of Improvements

Sidewalks along both sides of Nyanza Road between the south and north ends of Gravelly Lake Drive will be installed. This includes a widened sidewalk along the west side of Nyanza for bikes and pedestrians. This will match improvements along the other portions of Gravelly Lake. The roadway will be resurfaced with a three-inch depth hot mix asphalt overlay following significant pavement repair. This will be an economic benefit to the project in lieu of pulverizing and reconstructing. The three-inch section will work well into the future with the base lift and pavement repair at the current stage.
