This design build bundle consists of three elements in Albemarle County and City of Charlottesville, Virginia. These three elements are part of a single procurement and will be awarded as a single contract. The following are brief descriptions of the three elements: (1) US 29 and Fontaine Avenue Interchange Improvement – This involves removing the existing northbound left-turn lane on US 29 at I-64 Exit 118 and reconfiguring the interchange to facilitate U-turns for access to I-64 westbound from US 29 southbound. Additionally, a shared-use path will be constructed on the south side of Fontaine Avenue, with crosswalks at the southern ramp termini. (2) Fontaine Avenue Streetscape Enhancements – A shared-use path will be added along the south side of Fontaine Avenue, extending from Westerly Avenue to east of Lewis Street, with crosswalks placed at key locations to improve pedestrian accessibility. (3) Hydraulic Road/District Avenue Roundabout – The existing signalized intersection at Hydraulic Road and District Avenue will be converted into a hybrid roundabout to improve traffic flow and safety. This modification will help accommodate additional traffic and allow u-turning movements to compensate for westbound left turn prohibitions at US-29 and Hydraulic Road. Pedestrian accommodations will also be maintained and enhanced. The scope includes all work required for project management, design, and construction of the project.
