Project Description:

This project involves the construction of a collector road to replace the existing two-lane road from Sampson Road to Ward Road. The project includes a three-lane roadway, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, major drainage structures and streetlights. The total length is approximately 13,600 ft. The project includes the reconstruction of the bridge between Pryor and Murray as a four-lane structure. A traffic signal will be installed in a separate project at Longview Road and Ward Road. See the Ward Road & Longview Road Signal project for additional information.

Project Rationale:

This project is part of the 1997 Road Sales and Excise Tax program. As development in the area increases, Longview Road will become a major east-west corridor for the southwestern part of the City with connection to major north- south arterials, Longview Parkway and Ward Road. The existing bridge is only one-lane wide with a limited weight capacity.
