Martinsville, IN

HWC provided design for this INDOT LPA project to add pedestrian facilities (sidewalk and path) through a residential neighborhood and a school bus route in Martinsville, Indiana. The project also converted an all-way stop intersection to a roundabout. The purpose of the project was to improve operational conditions of the intersection and update pedestrian mobility in the area to coordinate with the completion of I-69 construction that connects Indianapolis to Evansville.

HWC’s design team analyzed the capacity of the existing and proposed configurations to confirm the acceptable future operation. The improvements included the reconstruction of all five legs of the intersection: Ohio Street (2), Mahalasville Road, and Garfield Avenue (2). The roadways were reconstructed to provide curb and gutter, sidewalk, and curb inlets to convey stormwater runoff to roadside ditches and tie into existing municipal facilities. Right-of-way was acquired from nine parcels near the intersection.

HWC also designed over 20 new ADA-compliant curb ramps and connective pedestrian facilities to enhance the corridor and improve safety for all modes of traffic.
