Route 33 Improvements

Washington Street to 19th Street

Client: City of Kearney, Missouri

In 2001, the City passed a bond issue enabling construction of this 1.5-mile arterial widening. Using Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) funds and local funds, the Economic Development Innovative Financing project added a continuous left-turn lane through the corridor. Five-foot sidewalks, landscaping, and decorative lighting were used to accent the character of the old part of downtown. An in-depth public involvement program was a significant part of the project.

SIGNIFICANT DESIGN ITEMS:

• Pavement widening
• Hydraulic analysis
• Construction phasing
• Public involvement program
• Traffic signal design
• Period lighting fixtures
• Landscaping

COMPLETION DATE: 2005

COST: $4 MILLION
