Impact analysis
The council awarded the Black Bob contracts to Superior Bowen Asphalt Company; construction will be disruptive but is aimed at fixing one of residents' top complaints.
Commuters and neighborhoods along Black Bob will get a four-lane divided arterial with sidewalks and a new bridge once work wraps up.
Residents and commuters along the corridor face construction detours and roughly 18 months of disruption.
