Site work and paving for a road / highway in Ankeny, Iowa. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

This project involves pavement widening to add a lane along the west side of SE Delaware Avenue from the City limits north approximately 1,600 feet to where the existing asphalt street becomes concrete. The widening would create a three-lane section with a center two-way left turn lane (TWLTL). The project also includes milling the existing asphalt surface and a Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) overlay to provide a uniform driving surface. Adding a 3-ft. wide HMA shoulder and 5-ft. wide granular shoulder, potential ditch relocations and/or pipe culvert installations along the west side of the street and new pavement markings and symbols are also included in the project. This project will improve traffic mobility, safety and pavement conditions in a developing industrial and commercial area of the City. In 2022, Polk County is planning to widen County NE 22nd Street/SE Delaware Avenue to a three-lane section with a center TWLTL and HMA overlay from County NE 54th Avenue north to the City limits and the south limits of the Citys proposed project. Based on initial discussions with Polk County Public Works, it may be possible to include the Citys project plans with Polk Countys project for economy of scale and to better coordinate construction staging and traffic control between the two projects. This estimate includes having the Citys project designed and inspected by a consulting firm. As of January 20, 2022, this project is currently in the FY 2022-2026 CIP .
