Aberg at East Wash Ramp Expansion

In early to mid January of 2009 construction is anticipated to begin on the temporary widening of the inbound East Washington Avenue bridges over STH 30. General project construction is anticipated to start mid March of 2009 and is expected to continue until December of 2009. Permanent pavement marking and landscaping will be completed in the spring of 2010.

Construction began on the East Washington Ave corridor in 2004 and four segments of the reconstruction have been completed. This year's project includes work on East Washington Avenue from Marquette Street to Pinecrest Drive and on STH 30 from McCormick Ave to the RR track east of Fair Oaks Avenue. The project includes work on Commercial Avenue (STH 30 Frontage Roads) and the ramps at Fair Oaks Avenue. The project will reconstruct all the ramps at the East Washington Ave and STH 30 interchange. The project will also close the McCormick Ave connection to Aberg Ave.

Currently, motorists are not able to travel from west bound STH 30 to east bound East Washington Ave or east bound Aberg Ave to west bound East Washington Ave. One of the major goals of the project is to reconfigure the East Washington Avenue and STH 30 interchange to provide for all turning movements. The project involves the reconstruction of storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water main, some private utilities, concrete pavement, decorative street lighting, and landscaping. In addition, the project includes a new bridge on East Washington Avenue over STH 30.
