Porter County, IN

Meridian Road Structure Replacement

HWC designed a single-span reinforced concrete slab bridge to replace the existing structure. The new bridge will use 100% GFRP reinforcing, combined with specific concrete admixtures instead of typical steel rebar, to target a 100-year design life with little maintenance. The roadway design included a passing blister for a neighborhood entrance. HWC also completed right-of-way acquisition and utility coordination for a dozen utility relocations. The new bridge is scheduled for construction in 2026. Utility relocations are currently being completed.

Bridge 54 Replacement

HWC was responsible for the design and construction inspection services for the Bridge 54 Replacement project in White County, Indiana.  

The scope of services consisted of the removal and replacement of the existing bridge, including both substructure and superstructure. This work included the installation of bent piling, steel tub girders, and concrete for end bents, approaches, and bridge deck. Additionally, HMA milling and resurfacing was completed to provide a smooth transition to the new structure before installing new guardrail for safety.

Construction on this contract commenced in May of 2025 and was completed in August of 2025. This project was funded by White County with a construction cost of just over $1.2 million. 

This project was recognized as a 2026 State Finalist for ACEC’s Engineering Excellence Awards since it was one of the first bridges in Indiana to be constructed using steel press-brake tub girders.

SR 48 Superstructure Replacement

This project involved a superstructure replacement of the existing bridge over Kettle Creek. The existing bridge was a three-span continuous reinforced concrete slab bridge on SR 48 in Sullivan County. The existing superstructure was deteriorated, and the bridge had scour concerns. The project design also involved replacement of the reinforced concrete approaches, approach guardrail, and placement of new riprap on the spillslopes and around the existing piers. The maintenance of traffic utilized a road closure with a detour.

Martin County, IN

Bridge 58 Replacement

HWC completed survey, environmental, permitting, right-of-way acquisition, utility coordination, and design for the replacement of the existing 150’ non-select historic bridge over Boggs Creek in Martin County within the Vincennes District. HWC was responsible for completing a funding analysis report and the Historic Bridge Alternatives Analysis for the bridge prior to the start of design. HWC also completed a revised floodway boundary for the project to minimize floodway impacts and mitigation costs for the project. HWC was responsible for coordinating impacts with permit agencies and mitigation banks to assist in securing mitigation credits utilizing the DNR In-Lieu Fee Mitigation Program for environmental mitigation.

The bridge replacement consisted of a 166’-long three-span continuous composite hybrid prestressed concrete bulb-tee beam bridge with an out-to-out bridge width of 28’-6”. The bridge utilized a three beam system supporting a new reinforced concrete bridge deck and TS-1 railing. The bridge is supported by end bents on piles and wall piers with spread footings on piles driven to rock. Due to poor soil conditions, the roadway sideslopes were reconstructed with an aggregate base and riprap. The project maintenance of traffic consisted of a road closure with a detour. The project was awarded for construction in 2024 at a cost of $3.2 million. HWC was also responsible for the construction inspection on the project. Construction was completed in 2025.
