Olive Street / Sample Street Overpass <br />Intersection Reconstruction Project <br />City of South Bend, Indiana <br />Leading a team of LFA, Lochmueller, and McCormick <br />Engineering staff, Don Dietz provided Construction <br />Observation and Inspection services for the Olive Street / <br />Sample Street Overpass Intersection Reconstruction Project. <br />The project was a combined effort between St. Joseph County <br />and the City of South Bend. This multi -jurisdictional project <br />included bridge rehabilitation on both Olive Street and Sample <br />Street bridges over the Norfolk Southern and Grand Truck <br />Western Railroad (Canadian National), requiring significant <br />coordination. Additional work included reconstruction of <br />3,660 ft of Olive Street and 2,750 ft of Sample Street to improve <br />drainage, install lighting, and improve pedestrian movement. <br />j A roundabout was also constructed at the intersection <br />of Olive Street and Sample Street. Significant effort was <br />required to coordinate utility relocations for MetroNet, AEP, <br />NIPSCO, and Comcast. Additionally, LFA coordinated water <br />utility work with the City of South Bend during the street <br />reconstruction and roundabout construction process. Beyond <br />the coordination challenges on the project, Don worked with <br />the County to determine a better temporary barrier rail system <br />on the bridge that resulted in less long term maintenance <br />concerns on the bridge deck. One of the most critical items <br />of this project was Maintenance of Traffic and impacts on local <br />residents, businesses, and industry. Don proactively addressed <br />these concerns through direct contact with the impacted <br />parties. This project was completed in 2017. <br />LFAVAVA City of South Bend, Indiana - Construction Inspection for Bendix Drive - Lathrop Street to I-80 Bridges - Des. No. 1400634 <br />
