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

Update:Funding for this project entitled "Building Bridges to Employment and Equity (B2E2)" will provide for the planning, design, and construction of a multimodal transportation corridor project for proposed improvements to the Elm Street corridor, the 16th Street corridor, the Kerper Blvd. corridor, Chaplain Schmitt Island corridor, and the proposed 14th Street Railroad (vehicular and pedestrian) Overpass bridge project. The improved multimodal transportation corridors will connect vulnerable neighborhoods and low income residents with economic opportunities, recreational amenities and key community resources in the Kerper Boulevard Industrial Park, on Chaplain Schmitt Island, in downtown Dubuque and its Historic Millwork District, and on the west side of the city via the downtown Intermodal Transportation Center. The proposed project will provide for the elimination of an existing at-grade rail crossing conflict on 14th Street and will provide for the planning and design a proposed vehicular and pedestrian overpass bridge which will connect downtown residents to job opportunities while avoiding train crossing delays that negatively impact the safe and efficient movement of people and goods to and from the Kerper Boulevard Industrial Park and Chaplain Schmitt Island. The project will also focus on multimodal transportation corridors with "complete streets" and proposed roundabout intersections along Elm Street and 16th Street corridors. The project would also include the design of an improved pedestrian/bike shared use path along Kerper Blvd and adjacent to the existing 16th Street Peosta Channel bridge to Chaplain Schmitt Island and strategically plan a roundabout at Captain Sheehy Drive on Chaplain Schmitt Island.
