Project Information

The Project consists of widening and improving the Esplanade Corridor as a multi-modal, “Complete Streets” facility between Eaton Road to the northerly curb returns of the Leora Court/Nord Highway intersection (approximately 0.7 miles in length).

Additional work includes installation of new curb, gutter, and 5-foot sidewalk in existing gaps; street lighting; dedicated left-turn pockets; full intersection improvements; driveway entrance improvements; traffic signal conduit; sewer lateral installation; and relocation or undergrounding or utilities.

Construction is expected to begin in Spring of 2027.
