Starting in April, Shaw Road will be closed for construction from 23rd Avenue SE to Manorwood Drive for six to eight months.This project is expected to begin construction in April.
The primary improvement will be the addition of a turn lane between 23rd Avenue SE and Manorwood Drive. This section of Shaw Road experiences more than 16,000 vehicle trips per day, and the addition of a center left-turn lane will ease traffic congestion, promote safety and and improve travel times, particularly during the morning and evening commute hours. The project will also add a sidewalk on the west side and a mixed-use trail on the east side.
The City will host a pre-construction open house on Thursday, March 29th from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. Staff will answer questions about the project, construction timeframe, alternate travel routes and potential impacts to the surrounding areas.
The open house will be in the Council Chambers on the 5th floor of City Hall, 333 S. Meridian.
