Overview
This Roadway Preservation project repaved 5.35 miles of SR 17 starting south of the I-90/SR 17 interchange and finishing north of Randolph Rd. It did not include the 3 mile section from Pioneer Way to Stratford Rd. that was widened to 4 lanes in 2007.
Construction began April 14th and was complete June 27th, 2008.
 | Improves Safety
By providing a smoother driving surface, new high-visibility striping, centerline rumble strips, new guardrail, recessed pavement markers and signs.
|
 | Economic Incentive
This section of SR 17 was in need of pavement restoration due to the deterioration of the existing asphalt and was replaced at the lowest life cycle cost - a quarter of what a roadway rebuild would cost, had the deterioration been allowed to continue. The roadway was also improved with a stronger asphalt to handle the increasing amount of traffic.
