E. Main / Wmsbg Ave. Intersection Construction

The City of Richmond, Virginia (the “City”), on behalf of the Department of Public Works (“DPW”) seeks bids from qualified firms for the construction of the E. Main St. – Williamsburg Ave. Intersection Improvements project (the “Project). This Project, subject to Virginia Department of Transportation (“VDOT”) specifications, will entail improving and realigning the City intersection of E. Main Street and Williamsburg Avenue (the “Work”). The Project arose from a traffic management need, particularly the need to ensure a safe travel environment for both motorists and pedestrians. In its current layout, the Project intersection is a source of motorist confusion. The improvements sought by the City are designed to enhance safety by providing greater route continuity. Design improvements should create a continuous flow movement within the City, rather than directing traffic towards neighboring counties. The City expects that the Project will enhance crosswalk visibility and pedestrian connectivity.
