Explanation
§ The McKee Road/Providence Road Intersection Improvements project improves capacity and amenities for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The project is located in Council District 7.
§ The Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization approved Discretionary funds for the McKee Road/Providence Road Intersection Improvements project in July 2020.
§ The McKee Road/Providence Road Intersection Improvements project budget currently totals $10,123,100.
- In 2010 and 2018, the Charlotte City Council approved Transportation Bonds to appropriate $7,000,000 and $800,000, respectively, from the Capital Investment Plan budget for the McKee Road/Providence Road Intersection Improvements project.
- On June 13, 2014, City Council appropriated an additional $1,113,000 of NCDOT Congestion Mitigation Air Quality grant funding.
- Through the FY 2021 Capital Investment Plan adoption, City Council authorized the reappropriation of $570,000 of completed project savings to be added to this project.
- An additional $640,100 is being provided from NCDOT in Discretionary funds, bringing the total project funding to $10,123,100.
§ The increased funding from NCDOT will go towards replacement of unsuitable soils throughout the project limits, additional utility relocations, a new retaining wall required to help avoid additional costly relocations, and resolution of various pipe conflicts and associated traffic control. All of these have added to the cost of the original project scope.
§ The McKee Road/Providence Road Intersection Improvements project is currently in the construction phase and is expected to be complete by third quarter 2021.
