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.

The Connect Downtown plan identified several one-way streets to be converted to two-way streets to support circulation downtown and provide additional space for multimodal facilities. This project includes the conversion of Grand Avenue between 5th Avenue and 15th Street from one-way to two-way and Locust Street from 2nd Avenue to 15th Street. Portions of Grand Avenue from 15th Street to 18th Street and from 3rd Street to 5th Street and Locust Street from 15th Street to 18th Street will be converted from one-way operation to two-way with separate CIP projects. This one-way to two-way conversion includes additional traffic signals at all project intersections, permanent concrete bumpouts and sidewalk improvements, bus stop enhancements, storm sewer modifications, pavement resurfacing, durable pavement markings and green bicycle lane pavement markings. A planning study would be required to update signal timings and understand in detail the impacts to traffic and transit operations. Additionally, several blocks of on-street parking will likely be removed to accommodate intersection turn lanes. This project must be coordinated with the Ingersoll Run Sewer Project scheduled for construction in calendar year 2023. The project is included in the city's 2022-2026 capital improvement plan (CIP). As of November 30, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified.* *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
