Monticello Road & Black Hoof Park Parking Lot Improvements
- Project typeStreets / Bridges / Traffic
- Project cost$7,313,000
- Project schedule2025–2027
Project purpose
The asphalt surrounding the roundabouts along Monticello Road are experiencing premature failures due to heavy turn movements and stop and start traffic. Traditional mill-and-overlay maintenance strategies are ineffective, requiring maintenance work every five years to prevent deterioration of the asphalt base. Reconstructing the roundabouts with concrete reduces maintenance intervals to every 15 to 20 years.
Project description
The project will reconstruct pavement at the four roundabouts along Monticello Road between 83rd Street and Prairie Star Parkway by replacing asphalt with concrete pavement on the roundabouts and approaches. Deteriorated curb and gutter, sidewalks and brick pavers will be replaced as needed.
The project includes a trail from Buffalo Meadows Park to the Monticello Road and 95th Street roundabout, and then runs along Monticello Road to 83rd Street. It will also make minor repairs on the Monticello Road bridge over Coon Creek, as well as mill and overlay the remaining sections of Monticello Road, the Black Hoof Park parking lots, and 95th Street from Monticello Road to 400 feet east of Aurora Street.
Design is scheduled for 2026 with construction in 2027.
Current status
