  • 2, 8-foot-wide bike/cart paths, 1 in each direction
  • 2, 6-foot-wide sidewalks, 1 in each direction
  • A 9-foot, 8-inch raised center median

CONSTRUCTION

  • Dune Palms Road will be open to traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists in both directions for the duration of the project.
  • The bridge will be constructed in two phases starting with the eastern bridge span followed by the western bridge span in Phase 2.
  • Crews will construct a temporary road on the western side of the existing road for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians. This road will be removed when construction in Phase 1 is complete.

IMPACTS

  • The speed limit on Dune Palms Road will be reduced to 35 MPH in the construction zone.
  • There may be short-term, planned lane or road closures with traffic control and detours in place.
  • Access to driveways on Dune Palms Road will be available. If a closure is necessary, the construction team will coordinate with the impacted party.
  • Nearby businesses and residents may experience common noises associated with construction including, loud machinery, motors running, pounding noises, beeping, and talking.
