3rd & Welker Intersection Project

The 3rd Street and Welker Avenue intersection project is progressing through property acquisition. Intersection improvements include left and right turn lanes on all legs, medians, sidewalk connections on all legs, drainage upgrades, two railroad crossings, and a traffic signal. Reconstruction of the intersection will begin in 2024, and significant traffic impacts are expected during the construction period. The intersection contains two primary arterial roads in the heart of downtown and is a crucial component of safe routes to school.
