Description | Construction of a grade-separated crossing (bridge or tunnel) for the Oralabor Gateway Trail at the intersection of SW State Street and SW Oralabor Road. The proposed grade-separated crossing will span the south leg of the intersection. A study will be completed in 2021 to determine the preferred alternative (bridge or tunnel) for the crossing. Also, the development of this project will need to be coordinated with the SW Oralabor Road & SW State Street Intersection Safety Improvements project which has the same proposed schedule. The Oralabor Gateway Trail is a regional trail connection between the Neal Smith Trail system (to the west) and the Gay Lea Wilson Trail system (to the east). The trail is a 10 wide PCC trail that runs along the south side of SE/SW Oralabor Road across the south side of Ankeny. The trail is very popular with recreational users and commuters. The current at-grade crossing at SW State Street is overly wide due to the rural environment and granular shoulders on SW State Street. The street approach and the intersection as a whole carries extremely large traffic volumes. This includes a high number of right-turning vehicles. This results in an at-grade trail crossing that is difficult to maneuver and has a higher probability of accidents between vehicles and pedestrians. A grade-separated crossing at this location would eliminate this situation. To date, the project has received $800,000 of STBG-TAP funding from the Des Moines Area MPO for construction in 2023. SW State Street and SW Oralabor Road (IA Highway 415 & 160) are joint jurisdictional streets with the Iowa DOT, so the project will need to be coordinated with them. The project is included in the city's 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of December 12, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified.* *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available. As of August 22, 2023, no new information available |
