The reconstruction of 9th Street in Clinton, Indiana included upgrades to new storm drains, replacement of the existing water main, new curb/gutters, sidewalks, ADA-compliant curb ramps, and new pavement. HWC provided topographic survey and established a baseline from which the project would be developed.
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.
In general, the scope of services for this project consisted of HWC assisting the City of South Bend with the implementation of better pedestrian connectivity between Walker Field Park, Rum Village Park, and the surrounding neighborhoods. Design services included survey and schematic design (30% plans) in an initial phase. Construction documents (60%, 90%, and 100% plans), bidding, and construction administration design services were provided as a second phase.
The project features a road diet along W. Ewing Avenue between S. Walnut Street and Webster Street, which includes new sidewalk and curbs, road resurfacing, curb extensions to protect a parking lane on the north side of the street, raised intersections, a mid-block crossing, and special paving treatments at the crosswalks. A concrete multiuse trail was extended along the south side of W. Ewing Avenue from S. Gertrude Street to the Rum Village Park Road entrance along W. Ewing Avenue, and pedestrian connections into Rum Village Park, as well as Walker Field Park, were also included in the scope. The project budget, including both design and construction, was $1.9 million, and construction was completed in 2026.
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.
