The project included reconstruction of approximately one mile of La Cholla Boulevard from two lanes to six lanes with landscaped medians, paved shoulders for bicycles, sidewalks, curbs, and storm drain. A six lane bridge was constructed over the Rillito River. Public art was integrated onto the concrete parapets and railing of the bridge. Intersection improvements were constructed at Ruthrauff Road and at Curtis Road. Bus bays were also installed.
The improvements will improve mobility for motorized vehicles, public transit, bicycles, and pedestrians. Improvements also reduce congestion, enhance safety, and provide ADA access along La Cholla Boulevard.
