Explanation
§ The Arrowood Road and Nations Ford Road Intersection Improvements project will make safety improvements at the intersection of Arrowood Road and Nations Ford Road.
§ The project will include grading, drainage, concrete sidewalk, curb and gutter, driveways, wheel chair ramps and concrete islands, retaining walls, milling, asphalt pavement, traffic control, and pavement markings.
§ Utility relocations on this project have caused a two-year delay for bid and construction resulting in increased construction and project costs of $1,000,000.
§ The project was initially funded in the 2010 bond referendum in the amount of $2,000,000.
§ Additional project funding of $400,000 was allocated from the Bike Program and Minor Roadway Program to extend the project limits, adding additional bike lanes and ADA ramp improvements to the project.

§ On July 25, 2017, the City issued an Invitation to Bid for Arrowood Road and Nations Ford Road Intersection Improvement; four bids were received from interested service providers.

§ The project is anticipated to be complete by 4th quarter 2018.
