Construction on the Benton Street Rehabilitation Project is scheduled to begin Monday, March 27 in Iowa City.
The project will encompass Benton Street from Mormon Trek Boulevard to just east of Benton Drive and include:
- A crack and seal of the existing pavement with a Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) overlay
- Painting of on-street bike lanes
- ADA sidewalk improvements at intersections
- Traffic and pedestrian signal improvements at the Benton and Sunset streets intersection
- Miscellaneous storm and sanitary sewer improvements
- 1,800 LF of 12-inch water main will replace the existing 6-inch water main from George Street to Greenwood Drive
Construction is anticipated to be complete in November 2023; however, that timeframe is subject to change.
