Proposed Construction : This project is a 3-lane reconstruction of US-34 in Plattsmouth extending eastward from the junction with US-75 to approximately 300 feet southeast of Schneider Lane. The intersection of US-34 with 8th Avenue and 2nd Avenue South will be realigned and reconstructed with a modern roundabout as part of the project. The roundabout will also provide access for the shopping center north of US-34 and 8th Avenue. Additional right-turn lanes will be provided for westbound US-34 traffic turning north onto US-75 and for eastbound US-34 traffic turning south onto 2nd Avenue South.
Lighting/Signals/Signing: New roadway lighting will be provided with this project. The roundabout will eliminate the need for traffic signals at the intersection of US-34 with 8th Avenue and 2nd Avenue South. Modifications will be made to the existing traffic signals at the intersection US-34 with US-75.
Related Studies: The lower elevation of the future US-75 expressway project will require a lower grade on US-34 from the junction with US-75 to just east of the roundabout.
Right-of-Way: A total of eleven tracts of land will be affected by this project. Additional right of way will be required from ten tracts and temporary easements for construction will be required from six tracts. Access Control to the highway will be perpetuated.
Phasing:
-
Build a temporary road from US-75 to the Shopping Center parking lot.
-
Build US-34 from US-75 east (including the roundabout) to just east of the roundabout. This will include the reconstruction of 8th Avenue and 2nd Avenue South, as well as the access for the Shopping Center.
-
Build US-34 from just east of the roundabout to the end of the project approximately 300 feet southeast of Schneider Lane.
-
During construction, US-34 traffic will be detoured using the old US-34 route on Chicago Avenue and South 15th Street.
Schedule: The close proximity of the high school dictates that Phase 1 and Phase 2 construction take place from approximately May 25, 2007 through August 18, 2007, when school is not in session. Phase 3 construction may be completed after August 18, 2007.
Estimated Cost: $2.2 million
