The project encompasses approximately a 3.06-mile section of 47th Avenue NE from the intersection with Immokalee Road west extending east to Everglades Boulevard. 47th Avenue NE intersects with a series of narrow dead-end streets west of the Golden Gate Main Canal. The improvements proposed will provide connectivity and roadway enhancements to those dead-end streets and improve emergency response times and safety along the corridor. The proposed roadway improvements shall be designed for a minimum design speed of 35 mph with posted speed of 30 mph. The project also consists of adding a new bridge over the canal crossing, widening of the existing two-lane rural roadway width from 9-ft to 11-ft and adding a 6-ft shoulder (4-ft paved, 2-ft unpaved) in each direction. A 6-foot sidewalk (6" thick) shall be constructed along one side of the roadway, 1-ft from the existing right-of-way/easement line. All driveways/turnouts along the corridor shall be replaced with concrete, except where the existing driveway has brick pavers (the existing pavers shall be removed, stored and replaced). The limits of the driveway replacement shall terminate at the right-of-way and shall match the existing driveway.
A new strain pole traffic signal is proposed at the intersection with Immokalee Road (CR 846) and shall include required turn lanes with the interaction improvements.
The typical section of the proposed bridge shall be similar to the already constructed 8th Street NE bridge, which consists of two-12-ft travel lanes, 6-ft shoulders on each side, and a 6-ft sidewalk connecting to the new roadway sidewalk.
The resulting contract for this solicitation will run concurrently with both the design and the construction contracts to perform Peer Review during the design phase and CEI during the construction phase.
