Scheduled for construction in summer/fall 2026 Together, these two projects are 1.38 miles extending from McCoy Road to CTH MC (John Nolan Drive). These projects do not include any work being completed to the bridge over USH 12/18.
The purpose of the proposed improvements to the CTH MM (Rimrock Road) segment is to enhance the safety, accessibility, and efficiency of the corridor for all users, including drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The existing roadway is experiencing significant cracking, which leads to a poor ride quality for drivers. Additionally, many elements of the infrastructure are not in compliance with current standards, including curb ramps and bus pads that do not meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and outdated beam guard and traffic signals that fail to conform to updated safety standards.
The proposed improvement includes:
Replacing the full depth of the pavement along the roadway.
Making repairs to curb & gutter and sidewalks as needed.
Constructing a new multi-use path on the west side of the road from US 12/18 to County MC (John Nolan Drive).
Replacing traffic signals and beam guard to meet new standards.
Upgrading curb ramps to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
Making necessary repairs to the storm sewer system to support curb ramp improvements.
Connecting sidewalk along the east side of the roadway at the bridge over the belt line.
Improving the entrance to the Alliant Energy Center Campus.
Traffic Control
Preliminary plans are to complete this work under two phases to help keep the roadway open at all times to allow access for local residents, businesses, emergency services and commuting traffic. More details on the traffic control plan will be shared as the design for this project develops.
