Bridge #95 Rehabilitation

This bridge rehabilitation project included the design of new semi-integral end bents, pier modifications, new structural steel beams, a concrete deck, a horizontal curve, and a super elevated roadway. This project was designed in a manner to avoid impacts to archaeological Native American sites. Right-of-way for one parcel was included in the project. The roadway embankments were widened and armored with riprap to protect against Lake Shafer wave action. Overall, this project improved all condition ratings for the bridge, geometric standards, and safety features.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan

HWC led the four-month development of Dillsboro’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, designed around a primary east-west route, with the intent to fill in the missing key gaps that connects the elementary school, library, and community park. New sidewalk extensions were also proposed to serve existing and planned residential developments so that residents of all ages and abilities can choose walking or biking knowing that it is safe and convenient. The master plan was specifically prepared with a focus on realistic implementation possibilities. Nine priority projects were identified, with each addressing a particularly problematic intersection crossing, sidewalk gap, or much needed extension to serve a key destination.
This project was funded with a grant from the Indiana Department of Health’s Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity and was led by a local advisory committee.

Market Street Rehabilitation

HWC worked with the City of Salem to provide survey, design, permitting, and construction administration services for the Market Street Rehabilitation project.

Pavement width was decreased to provide two 12’ travel lanes, two 8’ parking lanes, 7’ sodded buffers behind the curb, and 5’ sidewalks. The project improved drainage issues and pedestrian/ADA safety.

Project improvements included a mill and overlay of the roadway, a new storm drainage collection system, new sidewalks, bump outs and ADA ramps, installation of new curbs and gutters, new signage and pavement markings, and a sodded buffer strip.

The $655,000 project was funded through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG). Construction began in June of 2018. The section west of Brock Creek was completed in October of 2018, while the section east of Brock Creek was completed in August of 2019.

Concord Road Reconstruction

HWC provided design, environmental documentation, railroad coordination, and construction inspection services for this $2.7 million project.

The project included widening and reconstruction of Concord Road from Brady Lane to CR 350 S. This section of Concord Road included a one-mile stretch of heavily-traveled, two-lane highway in a commercial area. To meet growing traffic demands, HWC designed a roadway expansion to provide a four-lane pavement (full-depth asphalt), new curb and gutters, storm sewers, and a trail/sidewalk.

Extensive coordination with local property owners was required to minimize impacts during construction.
As required by the City for the trail portion of the project, the project included the largest quantity of pervious concrete ever constructed in Indiana. Detailed construction sequencing, regular community updates, and project coordination were crucial to this project’s success.
HWC’s inspection team worked with the contractor to ensure the project met all State and Federal requirements.
