  • Construct pedestrian improvements along Port Road from Jetty Road to Jafet Road.
  • Improve crossing location from City harbor to future laydown area.
  • Improve intersection at Port Road and Jetty Road to support truck turning movements and improve safety.
  • Minor ROW acquisition will be needed for improvements.
  • Relocate or repair utilities impacted by the project.
