Scott Boulevard improvements to begin: Rollins Road to Brookview
Terrace
								
	(COLUMBIA, MO) - The city of Columbia Public Works Department
announces that Emery Sapp & Sons Inc. will begin work on the Scott
Boulevard Phase 1 project  from Rollins Road to Brookview Terrace. The
project will consist of widening the street to four lanes plus a center
median from Rollins Road to Brookview Terrace, which is approximately
10,000 feet in length. The project also includes utility line
relocation, bicycle lanes, new sidewalks on both sides of the road and a
pedestrian underpass just north of Chapel Hill Road. The total cost for
this project is $16.1 million, which was identified as a 2005 ballot
issue project. 
	This project will result in temporary lane restrictions
throughout much of the project, however, contractors will do their best
to keep traffic disruption to a minimum.  Motorists and pedestrians are
urged to use extreme caution when entering the work zone and to use an
alternative route when possible. Once completed, the expansion of Scott
Boulevard will significantly help with vehicular and pedestrian traffic
to offer better connectivity in west Columbia and alleviate traffic
congestion. 
	The public is invited to a groundbreaking ceremony to kick off
this road project on Friday, May 22, at 8:30 a.m. at the Daniel Boone
Little League Field on Scott Boulevard.
