I Street - 102nd Street to EB I-80 On-Ramp (OPW 53897) (COMPLETED)

About the Project

The existing pavement surface on I Street from 102nd Street to the eastbound I-80 on-ramp has deteriorated over the years and has reached the end of its serviceable life. This project will reconstruct
the roadway to a new concrete pavement section with curb and gutter, construction of an enclosed underground storm sewer system, and construction of a sidewalk and ADA curb ramps on the south side of the new roadway. West of the 108th Street intersection, the driving lane and turn lane configuration will be replaced in a similar manner as it currently exists. East of 108th Street intersection to the railroad tracks, the addition of a center turn lane is planned.
 
At this time, it is anticipated the construction activity will occur in two separate segments, the portion west of the 108th Street intersection and the portion east of the 108th Street intersection. Each of these segments will occur in a separate timeframe. While construction occurs west of the 108th Street intersection, I Street will be closed from 108th Street to the eastbound I-80 on-ramp. When construction occurs east of the 108th Street intersection, eastbound traffic is anticipated to be maintained for local access only to those properties located between 102nd Street and 108th Street.

I street is now open to traffic.  The remaining minor work is to be completed under lane closures if needed.
 
June 6, 2023
Starting next Monday, June 12, crews will begin work on Phases 3A and 3B located at the railroad tracks west of 102nd Street. All properties located on I Street west of the railroad tracks will need to access properties from 108th Street; and all properties located east of the railroad tracks will need to access their properties from 102nd Street.
 
May 24, 2023
I Street eastbound between 102nd Street and 108th Street will be closed to "local access only" for concrete pouring of the westbound lane. Crews are scheduled to pave the westbound section of I Street east of 108th Street beginning May 26th at 9 a.m. This work will require large equipment that will take up the eastbound lane and may cause long delays in the area for access to properties located between 108th and 102nd Street. For the safety of our crews and all those traveling on I Street during this work, please expect delays during the paving operation and be cognizant of crews in the area. Flaggers will be at the intersections of 108th and 102nd Street to allow vehicles access to the affected businesses.

Crews are scheduled to pave a section of I Street east of 108th Street 4/6.

For the safety of our crews and all those traveling on I Street during this work, please expect delays during this paving operation and be cognizant of crews in the area.
