Description of Improvements

The project will reconstruct the W. Washington Avenue and S. 72nd Avenue intersection into a single lane roundabout with 20 foot lanes including sidewalk, curb and gutter. A 19-foot truck apron will be constructed to accommodate larger vehicles as this is a freight route with a large presence of agricultural trucks during harvest.
