Burkart Boulevard Phase 2

HWC was responsible for the inspection of the construction of Burkart Boulevard Phase 2. The project consisted of 1.5 miles of new roadway, intersection improvements, at-grade railroad crossing, and a multi-use trail located in Seymour, Indiana.

Phase 2 was a new segment of roadway to provide a bypass from US 50 on the east side of Seymour to US 50 on the west side of Seymour to alleviate through truck traffic. The scope of this project included clearing farm fields and some wooded areas, constructing new side slopes, ditches, and roadway, and installing drainage culverts and box culverts. The project has new asphalt pavement with roundabouts at Airport Road and SR 11 (Walnut Street) intersections and a paved multi-use trail along the entire length of the road. Also included was the installation of guardrail, pavement markings, signage, and lighting at the roundabouts. The project has new at-grade crossings for a railway spur on both the new roadway and the multi-use trail.

The project completion date was October 31, 2023. The LPA project was funded by the City of Seymour and the Federal Highway Administration and was managed by INDOT.
