Road improvements are set to begin on the Ellis Boulevard/6th Street Connector project. This will be a multi year project.
Overall Project Scope
This project will extend 6th Street NW from its terminal point north of B Avenue and connect it with the intersection of Ellis Boulevard and E Avenue. The work involves new pavement construction where road does not currently exist. We will renovate existing 6th Street NW from B Avenue to 1st Avenue. The project will also include water main extension, sidewalk, railroad crossing additions and removals, on-street bicycle facilities, roundabout construction at both E Avenue and F Avenue. The intersection of 5th Street NW and 1st Avenue will be converted to a ¾-access intersection and the traffic signal will be removed. The railroad Union Pacific Railroad crossings at I Avenue NW, 10th Street SE, B Avenue/C Avenue NW, the pedestrian crossing between 1 Avenue E and 2nd Avenue SE, and the pedestrian crossing between 2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue SE will be closed as a part of this project. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2022 with completion in the fall of 2023.
Upcoming
Construction will begin with the closure of the E Avenue NW and Ellis Boulevard intersection. The intersection was closed starting Thursday, June 16, 2022. Work at the intersection will include underground utility improvements and construction of a roundabout. The intersection is expected to be closed until approximately early fall. Please follow all detour signage and help us keep the construction site safe for everyone.
