PROJECT OVERVIEW

The proposed project involves box widening reconstruction on Croton Point Avenue between Veterans Plaza and S. Riverside Avenue to accommodate 5 ft. bike lanes and new sidewalks on both sides of Croton Point Avenue.  

 

Roadway improvements include reducing the existing travel lanes on Croton Point Avenue from 12 ft. to 11 ft., realigning of the US Route 9 northbound on-ramp to eliminate the eastbound channelized free-flow right turn movement from Croton Point Avenue, widening the US Route 9 southbound off-ramp to provide an exclusive right turn lane, traffic signal installations with pedestrian signals at Veterans Plaza, the US Route 9 southbound on/off ramps and the US Route 9 northbound on/off ramps, widening of approximately 100 ft. of Veterans Plaza to accommodate four-lanes for reversible traffic flow operations, pavement and drainage improvements. 

 

A 2-course hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlay on the existing Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement is proposed on Croton Point Avenue.  Additionally, under bridge lighting will be installed on the Route 9 overpass bridge to increase pedestrian visibility.
