C-470 & Bowles Avenue Interchange Improvements

About the Project

This project involves the replacement of traffic signal equipment at the two ramp intersections, including traffic signal poles and cabinets. An overhead ramp meter signal will be added to the westbound on-ramp. Curb ramps, median islands, and sidewalk geometry will be improved to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and enhance bicycle navigation through the eastern intersection.
