The project encompassing selective infrastructure demolition, new concrete sidewalks, curb installations, ADA ramp adjustments and complete traffic signal overhauls with new steel strain poles, controllers, thermoplastic markings, and regulatory signage. All work must conform to the project specifications in accordance with all contract documents.

The project scope consists of comprehensive intersection improvements across eight sites, encompassing civil infrastructure modifications, updated traffic control signage, and complete signal system modernization.
