Hi everyone-

I'm back with more Tarkusian Cities . . . this time, a little bit smaller project in the same part of town.

Replies from the last update are up here.

Scarlet Street NE Extension Project

This project will connect the two disconnected segments of Scarlet Street NE, separated by Sorenson Creek by constructing a new bridge, and extend the street south of 39th Avenue NE, to an extended 32nd Way NE. Scarlet Street is a collector road that the City of Chemeketa has been gradually expanding with the intent of making it into a minor arterial, and in a later project, it will eventually be extended to connect with 19th Avenue NE.

This is the existing southern disconnected segment of Scarlet, accessed via 39th Ave (facing north). The city, thinking ahead, stipulated that the developers of the subdivision seen here build a stub for a potential future extension northward.

The stub has been widened into a 3-lane configuration, and a signal has been installed at 39th (facing north). An initial stub on the southern extension down to 32nd has also been built.

The northern and southern segments are still separated by Sorenson Creek (facing north).

Crews work on a bridge over the creek (facing north).

Now that the bridge has been constructed, work resumes on the Scarlet Street south of 39th (facing north).

This is the southern bounds of the project--the new intersection of 32nd Way and Scarlet Street (facing north).

This is the intersection of 32nd Way NE and Sorenson Street NE, which was constructed during the realignments of the Rankine-Dallas Corridor project (facing north). 32nd Way is being extended west to meet up with the southern extension of Scarlet Street.
