We’re thrilled to announce that the City of La Quinta has selected our team to prepare the preliminary engineering, environmental documentation and the plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimate (PS&E) for the replacement of the Avenue 50 low-water crossing at the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) Evacuation Channel with a new all-weather bridge to improve circulation, increase safety and address frequent inundation.
Avenue 50 is a primary arterial highway, designated for four lanes per the City’s General Plan and is a key east-west route. Just east of Washington Street, Avenue 50 crosses the CVWD Evacuation Channel via a low water crossing. As such, it does not meet the circulation and year-round needs of the surrounding neighborhoods, schools, and businesses. The crossing is a safety concern during heavy storms that produce potential flooding. To address these issues, our team will replace the low water crossing with a new bridge providing the community with a reliable, direct route for public safety and health by improving emergency response times and unlimited access for residents and schools. Federal funding has been secured through the Highway Bridge Program (HBP). #Bridges #HBP #WeAreMarkThomas
