Concord Road Reconstruction
HWC provided design, environmental documentation, railroad coordination, and construction inspection services for this $2.7 million project.
The project included widening and reconstruction of Concord Road from Brady Lane to CR 350 S. This section of Concord Road included a one-mile stretch of heavily-traveled, two-lane highway in a commercial area. To meet growing traffic demands, HWC designed a roadway expansion to provide a four-lane pavement (full-depth asphalt), new curb and gutters, storm sewers, and a trail/sidewalk.
Extensive coordination with local property owners was required to minimize impacts during construction.
As required by the City for the trail portion of the project, the project included the largest quantity of pervious concrete ever constructed in Indiana. Detailed construction sequencing, regular community updates, and project coordination were crucial to this project’s success.
HWC’s inspection team worked with the contractor to ensure the project met all State and Federal requirements.

Lafayette Avenue Road Reconstruction
HWC was responsible for the full-time inspection of the Lafayette Avenue project in Terre Haute, Indiana. This project included reconstruction of Lafayette Ave and portions of 25th Street between Fort Harrison Road and Haythorne Avenue, approximately 1.1 miles. The project included the relocation of the centerline of the existing roadway, installation of a new storm sewer system with detention pond, installation of concrete curb and gutter, concrete sidewalks, ADA ramps, concrete approaches, and a center turn lane. The existing railroad crossing was widened and updated from a two-lane signalized crossing to a wider crossing with signalized lights and gates with a center curb island. Coordination between the Indiana Railroad and their Subcontractor RJ Cormann for the closure of Lafayette Avenue and detour route was essential for a smooth transition during construction. This LPA project was funded by the City of Terre Haute and INDOT. The project cost was $7.99 million.

Prairie Baptist Road Small Structure 23060 Replacement
HWC completed the design and project management for the replacement of small structure 23060 in Hamilton County. HWC assisted the County in obtaining property information, specifications and drawings of the project, plans of existing structures within the project limits, written reviews to the project, traffic assignments, and utility coordination.
The existing one-lane structure was replaced with a precast reinforced concrete three-sided culvert with wingwalls. The roadway profile was raised 7’ to provide proper sight distance for the 55 mph roadway. The design also included the reconstruction of multiple driveways, site drainage, and infiltration bioswales.

Burkart Boulevard/Southern Bypass
HWC prepared the design plans for this $25 million, 3.8 mile extension of Burkart Boulevard around the southern portion of the City of Seymour. Increasing train traffic has forced the City to pursue a grade separated crossing and new alignment roadway to provide an unimpeded access route to the local hospital. HWC developed preliminary costs for the project and assisted with obtaining federal funding. Design tasks included new roadway design, roundabout intersections, drainage, a multi-use path, right-of-way assessments, coordination with impacted property owners, and overall cost estimating for the project. The project was constructed in three phases.
