Overview

The Fremont Boulevard and Walnut Avenue Protected Intersection Improvements Project consists of constructing pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements at the intersection of Fremont Boulevard and Walnut Avenue. The work to be done consists of:

1. Removing the existing "pork chop" traffic islands at each corner of the intersection.
2. Removing the existing right-turn slip lanes at each corner of the intersection.
3. Constructing enlarged, elevated curb returns at each corner of the intersection that minimizes vehicular conflict with pedestrians and bicyclists.
4. Removing and replacing the existing traffic signal system with new traffic signals equipped with modern signal technology equipment.
5. Removing and replacing existing traffic striping.

Schedule

Project construction is currently underway, weather permitting, and is tentatively scheduled to be completed by Summer 2024.

Traffic Impacts

A minimum of one traffic lane in each direction will be kept open at all times to the extent possible. In general, most of the work will take place Monday through Thursday between the hours of 7:30 am - 4:00 pm and 7:30 am - 3:30 pm on Fridays.
