GUMWOOD RECONSTRUCTION, <br />ST: JOSEPH COUNTY <br />Gumwood Road was a large-scale reconstruction project with <br />several challenges. Despite the complexities, our team was able t, <br />work with the contractor, the County, and other stakeholders to <br />foresee potential problems and adjust schedules and the order of <br />work to eliminate or mitigate them. Ouir tearn completed the <br />Project on time and under (budget. <br />PROJECTINCLUDED <br />» 2 miles of added travel lanes <br />» Converting 2 conventional intersections to roundabouts <br />» New storm sewers, retention basins, & sanitary sewer lines <br />» Lighting, sidewalks, & landscaping <br />» Upgrading driveways & curb ramps to meet ADA standards <br />» Adding a multi -use path <br />R 300 SOU <br />rl,,,I <br />CASS COUNTY <br />?mbers of our team managed, designed, and performed <br />nstruction engineering for this federal -aid LPA project to <br />;onstruct CR 300 S from 1,590 feet west of SR 25 to the railroad <br />)ssing. The project started as a result of the Hoosier Heartland <br />iustrial Corridor Improvement project, which changed access to <br />300 S and CR 325 W where Indiana's largest Ethanol Plant is <br />sated. <br />INSTRUCTION ELEMENTS <br />e improvements included construction on a new alignment that <br />).35 miles in length, two 12-foot lanes in each direction with a <br />-foot-wide north outside shoulder, and a 6-foot-wide south side <br />oulder. <br />CR 300 S and CR 325 W pavement areas include 9 inches of <br />urete pavement over Type I subgrade treatment. <br />!AINAGE & UTILITYRELOCATION L T <br />vrior to construction, poor soils were encountered along 1300 feet <br />of CR 300 S, so the project was surcharged to consolidate the existing soils. The drainage along CR 300 S and CR 325 W outlets to <br />roadside ditches that drain to a new detention basin at the southeast corner of CR 300 S and CR 325 W. The basin has a release rate that <br />drains into a ditch along CR 325 W. A new active rail warning device was also installed at the railroad crossing. <br />
