300 WEST RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT OVERVIEW

The 300 West roadway from 5000 South to the Riverdale border. (approx. 4300 South) is scheduled to be replaced starting June 10, 2024 and is anticipated to be completed by October 1^st, 2024.

300 West is a main corridor through Washington Terrace. It is highly traveled and requires a high level of maintenance. Reconstructing 300 West will ensure longevity, safety, and reduce future repair costs.

The scope of the project will include:

• Removing and replacing the asphalt road section. This will require excavating out approximately 14” of the road and replacing it with structural file and new asphalt.
• Replacing various sections of curb and gutter to improve surface drainage.
• Replacing various sections of sidewalk and eliminating trip hazards.
• Replacing ADA approaches to meet the ADA standards.
• Upgrading the storm drain piping between 5000 South and 4800 South to provide better storm water drainage in the area.

Reconstructing 300 West is going to be a major project that will require several road closures and detours throughout the project. Resident and emergency vehicle access will be maintained during construction. Residents will be notified by door hanger of any construction that may deny access to your residence.

Project Funding

The estimated cost to complete this project is $3.7 million dollars. The City has received a federal grant to support much of the overall project cost, meaning that the City will be responsible for only 7.25% of the estimated cost. These funds will come from utility fees and other general funds.
