Ashburton Avenue Reconstruction

LKB completed preliminary and final design phases (I-VI), and provided construction support services for this federally funded project, which consisted of the reconstruction of approximately one mile of a heavily traveled two lane downtown roadway in Yonkers, NY.

The preliminary design included survey and mapping, inspection/evaluation of a bridge over the Saw Mill River, soils investigation, development of design alternatives, inspection/ evaluation of the bridge over the Nepperhan River, public information meetings, environmental assessment, traffic analysis, and the development of a Design Approval Document (DAD).

• Milling and resurfacing the roadway
• Improvements to the horizontal and vertical alignment of the roadway
• Installation of new sidewalks, curbs and handicap ramps
• Replacement of traffic signals at nine locations with an interconnected system
• New pavement markings and signs
• Bus stop turnouts
• Drainage improvement
• Replacement of roadway lighting and installation of decorative lighting at select locations
• Rehabilitation of the bridge over Saw Mill River
• Streetscape improvements including trees, landscaping, trash receptacles, and benches at select locations
