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

Implementation project to convert 6th Avenue from Hickman Road to Euclid from a 5-lane cross-section (2 travel lanes each direction plus a continuous two-way left turn lane) to a 3-lane cross-section (1 travel lane each direction plus a continuous two-way left-turn lane). The project includes installation of on-street bicycle facilities. With an average daily volume of fewer than 10,000 vehicles per day (higher at bridge across Des Moines River), 6th Avenue is a good candidate for a road diet. The corridor traffic study (under a separate CIP project) will model current and future traffic operations to ensure acceptable level of service and to recommend necessary mitigation efforts. The traffic study will also include Hickman Road from 6th to Prospect as part of the future Des Moines River Trail extension. This project is included in the city’s fy 2024-2027 Capital Improvement Program. As of June 14, 2024, further details regarding firm construction and completion have not been released. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
