US 31 Road Diet
HWC performed surveying services at the start of the project to help HWC’s transportation team better understand the scope of the project as they provided roadway design, utility coordination, traffic signal planning, and public information meeting coordination services for INDOT’s US 31 Road Diet project.
The need for this project is to address a number of rear-end traffic collisions while enhancing road safety and the overall quality of traffic flow. US 31 is a four-lane urban principal arterial. Currently, there are no designated lanes for both northbound and southbound vehicles turning left along US 31 in Scottsburg, which has led to this increase of rear-end traffic collisions.
The survey department provided route survey services, supplemented by aerial mapping. These deliverables aided in HWC’s collaboration with INDOT and the City of Scottsburg to develop the road diet concept and establish the project limits. US 31 was converted from four travel lanes (two lanes in each direction) to a three-lane section (one lane in each direction with a two-way left turn lane) from SR 56 to York Road (0.75 miles). The two-way left turn lane will allow motorists to make left hand turns without impacting traffic in the travel lanes of US 31, reducing the number of rear end collisions. US 31 was milled and resurfaced to remove all existing pavement markings and new thermoplastic pavement markings were installed to delineate the three-lane roadway section.
The construction cost of the project was $563,000.

Little League/Nese Apartments
HWC provided our full service engineering and surveying services for Milhaus, who developed a large apartment project in Whitestown, Indiana comprising of 10 residential buildings and 240 apartment units. Located along Indianapolis Boulevard, just south of SR 334 and along I-65, the site includes a new clubhouse with amenities for the residents. There will be detached garages and a maintenance building with a car wash area.
The 13-acre site was master planned with a large detention basin, and coordination with Boone County and Whitestown was required for the site work with adjacent stormwater facilities and public utilities that run through the site.

Sapphire Bay Aquatic Park
HWC worked alongside the City of Frankfort in developing concepts and subsequent construction plans for the replacement of the TPA Park Pool. HWC guided the City through a feasibility analysis of a new pool, construction documents, and a successful bidding process. Following a yearlong pause to the process due to the COVID pandemic, HWC helped with changes to the design and successfully led the project to construction.
The new facility continues a tradition of aquatic amenities at TPA park, becoming the third iteration of a pool with the original bathhouse at the same location. The new facility includes a beach entry pool with a large play structure, shade covered toddler bay, lazy river with dumping buckets and a raft slide, a waterwalk, and two waterslides. In addition to renovating the historic bathhouse, a new concessions building and modern mechanical building have been added.

Walnut Street Reconstruction
HWC was responsible for the full-time inspection of the North Vernon Walnut Street Reconstruction.
This project encompassed a variety of different components including sanitary sewer, water main, and storm system reconstruction. On top of the underground improvements, the project included full-depth reconstruction of the roadway including the replacement of all sidewalks, curb ramps, and approaches within the right-of-way, as well as traffic signal modernizations and street lighting enhancements. Additionally, decorative brick paver enhancements were included to tie the area with the downtown streetscape, which was previously constructed in 2016 and utilized Stellar funding. This project was funded by INDOT LPA funds and by the City of North Vernon. The total construction cost was $8.4 million and the project was completed in the fall of 2023.
