Scottsburg, IN

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.

New Albany, IN

Ohio River Greenway

Working closely with the City of New Albany, HWC recently completed the survey services required for the design and bidding of three projects along the New Albany Shoreline. These projects include additional trail mileage along the Silver Creek kayak launch at the Spring Street bridge, and an extension of the Ohio River Greenway trail to the River Recreation site, a new riverfront nature park currently under design. 

HWC provided the design teams with drone data, orthophotography, and bathymetric surveys to provide a detailed area survey.

Muncie, IN

White River Canal District

HWC Engineering worked with the city of Muncie, Indiana to complete survey services for the White River Canal District. The project includes the proposed redevelopment of multiple city blocks in downtown Muncie.

The HWC Survey Group provided boundary information and existing site conditions/topography for 18 parcels spanning four city blocks. 

The unique challenge of this project was the re-establishment right-of-way lines and parcel lines in an area with very old subdivisions or little to no record at all. HWC performed extensive research and worked closely with the Delaware County GIS Department, the Muncie Street Department, and other city employees in our attempt to resolve questions about these areas.
