TEAM PROJECT APPROACH RELEVANT EXPERIENCE 10HWC ENGINEERING | CITY OF SOUTH BEND: COAL LINE TRAIL (PHASE II)FIRM OVERVIEW HWC provided full-time inspection on this INDOT on-call project. There were two bridges reconstructed within this one contract. Work elements encompassed within the first bridge structure included removal of the existing bridge deck as well as driving piling and pouring concrete for the construction of new bents and piers. This 301’ bridge was built in two different phases with one half built at a time. New beams, reinforcing steel, and concrete were placed for phase 1 at 301’ 6” by 12’ 6’ and for phase 2 at 301’ 6” by 23’ 10”. This first bridge structure also included constructing new concrete bridge approaches, roadway subgrade construction, placing asphalt and pavement markings for both ends of the project, and placing seed and planting trees along the roadway. The second structure in this contract had the shell piling repainted and the original bridge deck was patched. A thin deck overlay was then placed atop the bridge deck. This combined project was completed in June of 2020 at a cost of $4.44 million for both structures. HWC provided design, project management and inspection services for the Bridge #516 Replacement project in Muncie, Indiana. Although the project was originally scoped as a bridge rehabilitation, a full replacement was found to be the most cost effective, long-term solution due to the extensive necessary sub-structure repair work. The existing four-span bridge was replaced with a three-span, 320-foot-long bridge carrying four lanes of Tillotson Avenue over the White River. Annual average daily traffic is more than 14,000 cars per day. The design accounted for and incorporated the four utilities attached to the bridge. The bridge was reconstructed with a full road closure rather than phased construction to provide cost savings to the County and reduce detours and delays to the traveling public. Impact to the adjoining neighborhood park was avoided, eliminating the need for a CE-4 document and reducing the project cost.
