Construction Continues On Davenport's 53rd Street Through 2023

Planning for the future requires investment. While construction can be inconvenient, #Davenport’s $16.2 million investment in East 53rd Street will pave the way for a better high-volume road for many years.

The four-year, two-phase, multi-segment project reconstructed the street between Brady Street and Eastern Avenue in the 2020-2021 during Phase I of the project. Three of five segments in Phase II were completed in 2022, including the intersections of Eastern Avenue and 53rd, Jersey Ridge Road and 53rd, and the stretch of 53rd located between Lorton Avenue and Elmore Circle.

Segments four and five of Phase II will reconstruct Eastern Avenue to Jersey Ridge Road and Jersey Ridge Road to Lorton Avenue in 2023. Once complete in 2023, East 53rd Street will have been entirely reconstructed and widened in spots, with a recreational trail added and utility and stormwater improvements, from Brady Street to Elmore Circle.

In all, it will make Davenport a better and more accessible place to live.
