Site work for a civil project in Ames, Iowa. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway.

The Traffic Signal Program is the annual program that provides for replacing older traffic signals and for constructing new traffic signals in the City. This program will result in improved visibility, reliability, and appearance of signals. Although recent advances in technology have elongated the normal, useful life for traffic signal installations well past the previously expected 25 years, some of the older-generation traffic signals still in use exceed their functional age. Components at those installations (including conduits, wiring, signal heads, and poles) need to be completely replaced. This program also provides funding for those maintenance needs. Also, this program provides for the necessary upgrading of the traffic signal system as technology continues to change. In recent years, traffic signal replacements have included radar detection systems instead of in-pavement loop detection systems that had previously been used (and that were frequently the point of vehicle detection failure). Another advantage of the radar detection system is that it detects bicycles in addition to vehicles. The 2024/25 scope includes South Duff Avenue/South Third Street. As of July 14, 2022, this project is currently in the FY 2022-2027 CIP . Funding for this project is allotted in the city's capital improvement plan for construction Fy 2024. A firm timeline has not been established; however, construction is scheduled for Fiscal Year 2024. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available. As of August 22, 2023, no new information available
