construction phase

The City of Newman was awarded project funding through RSTP and CMAQ programs for the ultimate build out of this project. After project funding was secured, the intersection underwent an evaluation process to determine the improvement alternative that best fit the project location. The alternatives evaluated included: Intersection signalization Construction of a single lane roundabout Maintaining the existing stop sign controlled configuration The Intersection signalization alternative was selected as the best fit for the project location out of the 3 alternatives evaluated. The proposed RSTP project includes reconstruction and resurfacing of the existing roadway within the project limits and widening the intersection to allow for adequate truck turning movements. The project will also include installation of necessary underground conduits for future intersection control measures and coordination systems. Improvements include: Reconstruction of curb, gutter, sidewalk, and driveways on Highway 33. Construction of new curb, gutter, and sidewalk along Highway 33, South of the intersection. Reconstruction of the existing roadway Minor storm drains improvements Roadway striping and signage Installation of the traffic signal will occur in the future and will finish the ultimate build out of the intersection.
