Site work for a transportation facility in Dubuque, Iowa. Conceptual plans call for site work for a transportation facility.

This project provides funds for the milling of ten (10) centerline miles of asphalt streets in Fiscal Year 2024 and five (5) centerline miles in the following years. This project provides for the hiring of a private milling contractor to grind a full-street-width pass to remove up to 2 inches of old asphalt from the street. The millings are then loaded onto City trucks and hauled to a local asphalt plant to be recycled into new hot mix asphalt. All milling is done by a private contractor with cleanup, hauling, and repaving of the streets completed by Public Works department crews. Keeping road pavement in good shape saves money and energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, more than offsetting pollution generated during road construction, according to a new study. Over the past twenty-five years, the Public Works Department has made great progress in maintaining Dubuque's asphalt pavements by completing overlay projects on 241.17 centerline miles of asphalt streets. Since January 1, 2014, the city has been required to construct or reconstruct virtually all curb ramps at all street intersections and crosswalks included in the annual asphalt overlay program forcing a reduction in centerline miles overlayed. While this project has been cut 50% from the Fiscal Year 2024 proposed ten (10) centerline mile milling program to the five (5) centerline mile program in Fiscal Years 2025 through 2029, this project can be expanded as savings are identified from a previous fiscal year becomes available. This project is included in the city's fy 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program. As of July 19, 2023, further details regarding design and construction timelines have not been identified. *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.
