Construction on the Alexander Road S-Curve is expected to begin in spring, 2008, township officials said this week. The project includes widening the road to 38 feet, with one lane of travel and a five-foot bike path in each direction, said Township Engineer Jim Parvesse.##M:[more]##
Features of the new road include elevation of the roadway to create a banking effect, use of high friction pavement, and improved striping and signage. The concept for the design of the road was endorsed by council in October.
The road runs from the Princeton Township Border to Canal Pointe Boulevard. Sidewalks will be located on the entire south side of the stretch of road, he said.
“The goal is to award an engineering contract for the final design in the next 60 days, and be out to date in the spring and summer for construction,” he said.
The estimated cost of the project is about $500,”000, with $190,”000 in funding coming from a state Department of Transportation grant.
