The City of Fort Wayne is holding an open house this week to inform residents about the proposed Leesburg Road expansion project in the Nebraska neighborhood.
The $11.9 million project is the largest of four neighborhood infrastructure projects approved by the city council at its Dec. 4 meeting.
It will extend Leesburg Road south from Main Street, tying it into West Jefferson Boulevard. The intersection will have a signal, and a roundabout.
The roundabout will feature a new public art structure: the Wounded Veterans Memorial Monument.
Other features of the project include a bridge over Junk Ditch, ADA-compliant sidewalks and street lighting.
Project representatives from the city and the contractors will be on hand Wednesday from 6 to 7 p.m. at the VFW Post 857 at 2202 W. Main Street to answer questions about the project.
