170th Street Reconstruction with Meredith Drive

Project Description:

This project will reconstruct 170th Street from Meredith Drive to Waterford Road as well as approximately 1/4 mile of Meredith Drive, east of 170th Street. Both roads will be reconstructed as a four-lane roadway with left-turn lanes, including grading and storm sewer. 170th Street will include the City’s Complete Street policy, with a 5’ sidewalk and 10’ separate bike lane along the west side of the road. Meredith Drive will include a 10’ trail along the north side of the road. A Traffic Signal will be installed at 170th Street and Meredith Drive. This project has received a State Transportation Block Grant to assist with funding. 170th Street is known as "Alice's Road" in Clive and Waukee.

The Contractor for this project is C.J. Moyna & Sons, LLC, and Progressive Structures, LLC, joint venture.  This project is a two-year project and is anticipated to be completed in late 2023.
