Along U.S. 69(south ankeny blvd.) in polk county from south of SE peterson DR. To 1ST ST in ankeny - portland cement concrete(PCC) pavement

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Iowa Department of Transportation $8.84 million on November 14, 2025, through the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP, CFDA 20.272) to fund pavement reconstruction and safety improvements along U.S. Route 69 (South Ankeny Boulevard) in Polk County, Iowa. The project scope encompasses grading and new Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavement installation on approximately 2.8 miles of roadway extending from south of SE Peterson Drive to 1st Street in Ankeny. This infrastructure improvement represents a data-driven safety enhancement designed to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries on a public road corridor.

The project is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2030, allowing a five-year execution window typical of state transportation capital projects. As a formula grant recipient, Iowa DOT serves as the prime recipient administering the award within the context of FHWA's broader HSIP portfolio, which emphasizes performance-based, localized safety improvements across all road types. The PCC pavement upgrade will modernize aging roadway infrastructure while enhancing safety through improved surface conditions and drainage.
