 SR 56 Bridges over Goose and Mill Creek 

HWC provided road and bridge design, utility coordination, and maintenance of traffic (MOT) design for these two bridge rehabilitation projects. The existing bridges were three-span, prestressed concrete I-beam bridges along SR 56 in the Seymour District. The scope of bridge work included a rigid overlay with semi-integral abutment conversions and the replacement of the reinforced concrete bridge approaches. MOT included phasing of the bridge work by using temporary signals.

River Recreation Site Boat Launch

The City of New Albany has historically been cut off from its adjacent waterways due to industrial development and flooding protections, including earthen levees and levee walls. To better connect residents to Silver Creek and the Ohio River, HWC was tasked with developing the River Recreation Site Boat Ramp.

The River Recreation Site Boat Ramp was a multi-phase brownfield restoration project, which included demolition and clean-up, boat ramp for motorized watercraft, trail extension, and river overlook. 

The final phase will develop a nature park with trails and passive recreation opportunities.

Craig Park Pedestrian Bridge

Once the City’s water reservoir, Craig Park is now a well-loved public park on the west side of the City of Brazil. HWC has assisted with multiple phases of trail improvements at Craig Park in partnership with the Clay Community Parks Association. The first phase was a loop trail around most of the lake. A second phase added a spur trail connecting the lake to the sports fields in the upper part of the park. The third and final phase of the project was the pedestrian bridge over the western outlet stream from the lake which completed the loop trail. The completed bridge provides a unique view of the lake and the original stacked stone overflow weir for the reservoir. In total, the 97-acre park now has three miles of trails.

Bridge 315 Rehabilitation

The White County Bridge 315 rehabilitation project included the replacement of the original bridge deck that was constructed in the 1970s. After conducting an inspection of the existing bridge, it was concluded that the six spans of prestressed I-beams were in generally satisfactory condition and would be repaired as needed with fiber wrap. However, the piers were in poor condition at the water line with major concrete deterioration and exposed rebar and required repair utilizing an in-water method. Additionally, the street lights and sidewalk were replaced and upgraded to current standards.

This project was constructed during winter and spring to avoid conflicts with the summer tourist season of Lake Shafer.

Paris Drive Roundabout

HWC worked with Franklin, Indiana to complete the $4.3 million King Street Reconstruction project, which included a new roundabout on Paris Drive. The roundabout was constructed to connect the residential area north of King Street, the new commercial business adjacent to the roundabout, and King Street. The roundabout is an urban single lane roundabout that is sized to handle the semi-truck traffic that exits off I-65. Sidewalks were constructed along the roundabout to provide pedestrian access from the residential area to the trail along King Street. Decorative street lights and ADA curb ramps were also constructed to help pedestrians maneuver through the roundabout. Portions of the project utilized INDOT federal aid funds, and the project was completed in 2017.
