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.

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.

US 50 HMA Overlay, INDOT Seymour District

HWC was assigned to provide design services for the US 50 HMA Overlay project under the INDOT On-Call contract in the Seymour District. HWC extended the functional life of the asphalt overlay by addressing cracks at joint deterioration and longitudinal cracks by construction of partial and full-depth patching of the underlying concrete pavement and application of a 2” mill/fill of the asphalt surface.

 Additionally, HWC brought 90 curb ramps to current ADA standards, as well as updated the nine existing traffic signals to have APS devices installed where applicable. This project included two DES numbers, and HWC worked with the District under time constraints to deliver both projects. The project was completed in 2023.

SR 66/Rexing Road Intersection Improvements

HWC provided roadway design, erosion control permitting, IDEM water permits, small structure design, right-of-way plan development, and public hearing coordination services.

HWC worked with INDOT to develop a solution to keep SR 66 open during construction by utilizing temporary portable traffic signals during the phased construction of the box culvert and a multi-phased plan for the reconstruction of the intersection.

Project let in April 2018 at a cost of $1,300,000, which was 5% below the engineer’s estimate.
