Martinsville, IN
Ohio Street Roundabout
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.

HWC helped the City of Hammond with a data storage project to bring additional opportunities for the area. As part of the industrial-sized data center being planned for the shoreline of Lake Michigan, the first greenhouse in the US to recycle waste heat produced by a data center will be developed. Purdue University Northwest will use this greenhouse space for classes and labs to conduct research and focus on innovative projects. HWC endeavors to be part of forward-thinking projects and we are pleased to see our team involved in this cutting-edge development.
HWC continues to provide civil engineering support to this ever-expanding project. Recently, HWC was brought on to help design a Master Plan for the overall site. We continue to be a bridge for communication between the clients (Digital Crossroad) and the City of Hammond, as well as provide concept planning, utility design, and survey work. Digital Crossroads plans to create a large Data Center campus in this area.

Seymour, IN
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.
