Old Salem Road Reconstruction

HWC provided construction inspection services for the $3.0 million Old Salem Road Reconstruction project in Utica, Indiana.

The project was divided into two phases for utility relocation purposes. The first phase began in May 2017 and encompassed approximately 0.4 miles of the roadwork near the Town of Utica. The second phase began in July 2017 and included the remainder of the project.

The project included excavating the existing road and side slopes, adjusting the horizontal and vertical alignment, and rebuilding the roadway with an improved pavement section. The project also included new curb and gutters through most of the project and storm sewers within the Town of Utica. A four-sided concrete box was also installed at the Lentzier Creek crossing.

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.
