Ellsworth Road Improvements - CP0969 / CP1015 / CP0620NP17

  • Project typeRoadway / Utility Improvement
  • Project valueFunding Source: Utility Systems Revenue Obligations, 2020 General Obligation Bonds, Transportation Funds
  • Project scheduleDecember 2025 - February 2027
  • Contractor nameSundt Construction

This project includes widening Ellsworth Road from Loop 202 to Germann Road to six travel lanes with dedicated bike lanes, upgrading traffic signals, adding new signage and pavement markings, improving storm drains with relocated and extended catch basins, and enhancing the median, landscaping, and irrigation. The goal is to increase roadway capacity and safety while limiting impacts to existing pedestrian infrastructure.

Timeline

To minimize disruption along this high-traffic corridor, construction segments will be phased.

Phase 1 – Northbound Widening

Construction will begin at Ellsworth Road and Germann Road, progressing northward in approx. 1-mile segments at a time. This is to widen the roadway from two lanes to three lanes in the northbound direction. Southbound lanes will remain unaffected during this phase when possible.

Phase 2 – Southbound Widening

After completing northbound improvements, crews will shift to the southbound lanes, starting at SR-24 and moving south to Germann Road. Northbound traffic will remain open with minimal restrictions during this phase.

Phase 3 – Median and Landscape Improvements

The final phase will focus on center median modifications and landscape/irrigation enhancements.

Impacts

  • Travel lanes will be reduced to one lane through the active work areas under construction.
  • The opposite side of the roadway will generally have no lane restrictions when possible.
  • Electronic message boards will be used to post restrictions and dates.
  • Alternate routes and signed detours will be posted to avoid delays.
  •  Drivers should expect slower traffic and possible delays through the active work zones.
  •  Access to business driveways and intersecting roads will largely be maintained throughout the project.

Thank you for your patience as we make these critical infrastructure improvements.
