Bridge #171 Replacement

HWC worked with White County to complete the Bridge #171 Replacement project. As part of the project, HWC completed bridge and roadway design, hydraulic analysis, waterway permitting, specifications, utility coordination, right-of-way acquisition, bidding, and construction administration services.

The existing bridge was an 82’ adjacent pre-stressed concrete box beam bridge built in 1969. The bridge had deteriorated to require a 12-ton load limit. Additionally, the roadway width was not sufficient for farm equipment, and the guardrail did not meet current standards. The new bridge included a 98’ multi-beam superstructure with integral end bents for minimized maintenance. The new bridge also included standard bridge railing, guardrail, and a 32’ wide roadway.

The project also included farm field drives for legal drain access in all four quadrants. Utilities were considered throughout the design process to minimize relocation impacts and avoid costly relocation expenses.

Grid Modernization

HWC provided design and construction inspection services for the $1.9 million Grid Modernization Project in the Downtown Corridor of New Albany, Indiana.

The project began with a conceptual study that evaluated past recommendations, identified three options for the one-way to two-way grid modernization, and identified three complementary projects for the downtown corridor. HWC studied options for grid corridor modernization, and the chosen option included converting Spring, Market, Elm, Pearl, and Bank streets to two-way traffic. This option manages vehicle patterns, improves access to downtown businesses, calms traffic, improves pedestrian safety, provides bike lanes, and enhances the economic vitality of downtown businesses.

The project included the modernization of 15 traffic signals through the project corridor and upgrades pavement markings and signage for two-way traffic. The identified complementary projects include downtown streetscape improvements, one-way to two-way conversions west of State Street, and a downtown pedestrian bicycle plan.
