Roadway reconstruction on 6th Street from the I-55/I-72 interchange to Stevenson Drive

The project includes reconstruction of BL 55/6th Street from a four-lane rural expressway to a sixlane urban expressway, including all side road intersections. This project extends existing 6th Street West south to Hazel Dell Road and extends Lincolnshire Boulevard west of 6th Street to the 6th Street West extension. This project expands and modernizes the roadways and provides pedestrian and bicycle accommodations including a multi-use path along portions of BL 55/6th Street, 6th Street West and Lincolnshire Boulevard. Improvements include full-depth HMA pavement on granular sub-base, HMA base course widening, HMA binder and surface courses, concrete curb and gutter, concrete medians, sidewalk, entrances, traffic signals, inlets, manholes, storm sewer, concrete box culverts, erosion control, earthwork and grading, pavement marking, and landscaping.
