Do you drive, ride, walk or roll in Springfield? |

No matter how you move through the area, we want to make your community more accessible.
One of the ways we’re doing that is by rebuilding or installing more than 680 ADA curb ramps in Springfield starting as early as spring 2025.
|
Why are curb ramps important?
ADA curb ramps make it easier for people to move between the sidewalk and road. This can be helpful for those who have trouble stepping up and down high curbs.
It's also helpful for people using wheelchairs, strollers, walkers, hand carts and bicycles. These ramps make it easier for everyone to get around, whether they have a disability or not.
Curious about what corners we're looking at in Springfield? Check out our interactive map!
Although we are planning to work on all the ramps shown on the map, the timing will change. Not all intersections or curb locations are the same. Some are construction-ready and others may have fire hydrants, utility boxes, utility poles, additional land requirements or we need an environmental permit. These are things we consider when scheduling.
Stage one, as shown on the interactive map, are the construction-ready locations and can be done first. We'll work on those needing additional coordination or design in future stages of construction. This is why an intersection with four corners might be completed at different times.
We'll update this map as we learn more information and get further into design.

When we start construction, you can expect:
- Shoulder and lane closures.
- Flaggers helping direct traffic as needed.
- Delays.
- Construction noise.
