Project Location: Cape Coral, FL
Del Prado Boulevard road construction involves the widening of the existing roadway from four to six lanes beginning just south of Pine Island Road to just north of Kismet Parkway. The project is scheduled to be built in five phases and will take approximately three years in its entirety. These phases are as follows:
- Phase I: Off-site bridges--NE 14th Place and NE 17th Place (crossing Jaguar Canal)
- Phase II: Mainline Bridge---Del Prado Boulevard over Jaguar Canal
- Phase III: Off-site Bridge—NE 16th Place over Zurich Canal
- Phase IV: Mainline Bridge—Del Prado Boulevard over Zurich Canal
- Phase V: Roadway—Del Prado Boulevard to Kismet Parkway
In addition to the widening of Del Prado Boulevard, the project will include the widening of two bridges, and the construction of three new bridges. Improvements to the roadway widening include landscaping, paved multi-use paths, street lighting, curbing, and new traffic signals.
The bridge construction preceded the road construction which began in March of 2007. Improvements to the bridges prior to the roadway reconstruction helped minimize traffic disruptions and also allowed for limiting the length of the construction zone. Critical to this chain of events was the acquisition of right-of-ways by the city and the relocation of private and public utilities throughout the corridor.
RWA provided surveying services to Balfour Beatty that included:
Phase I: Surveying and as-builts on NE 14th Place and NE 17th Place over Jaguar Canal
Phase II: Surveying and as-builts on the Mainline Bridge on Del Prado Boulevard
Phase III: Surveying and as-builts on the Offline Bridge - NE 16th Place over Zurich Canal
Phase IV: Surveying and as-builts on the Mainline Bridge on Del Pado. Over Zurich Canal
