Project Description

The North Clinton Street Improvements Project is located along North Clinton Street from Auburn Road to Mayhew Road in northeast Fort Wayne.

The need for the project is evident, based on anticipated increase in traffic volumes and resulting congestion. Additionally, there is a need for connectivity of pedestrian facilities along North Clinton Street. The purpose of the project is to provide a roadway that can effectively accommodate future traffic volumes and operate at an acceptable level of service during the design year of 2048, and to increase connectivity of pedestrian facilities.

The scope of the project is not fully defined at this time but may include widening Clinton Street throughout the project corridor as well as the addition of new pedestrian facilities. Drainage improvements will include the extension or replacement of culverts throughout the entire project corridor, along with construction of retention or detention areas are also anticipated.
