This includes the corridor-wide furnishing and installation of overhead traffic guide signs (sign mounting structures and panels), electrical systems, and lighting fixtures.

The project will provide corridor wide improvements to the guide signing and lighting on I-3between the 12th Street Expressway and D Street SW.
