Proposed Action
The proposed action provides for road improvements or construction for
a continuous transportation corridor throughout the Des Moines
metropolitan area. The corridor is proposed to extend from IA 415
through the Des Moines Central Business District (CBD).
Cost Estimate
The project has received an initial federal funding earmark of $1,020,000 in 2005 to continue with the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), and $1,200,000 in FY 2009 Federal STP Funds from the Des Moines Area MPO to be used for right-of-way purchase, design and utility relocation. Total estimated cost for development, design and construction is $17,000,000.
Polk County is actively pursuing funding sources to continue development and ultimate construction of this proposed project. Please note that these costs do not include any costs for construction of an extension of Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway from Euclid Avenue to I-35/80. If approved, development and funding for that project will be considered at a later date.
