TEAM PROJECT APPROACH RELEVANT EXPERIENCE 6HWC ENGINEERING | CITY OF SOUTH BEND: COAL LINE TRAIL (PHASE II)FIRM OVERVIEW <br />Project Understanding <br />This project is the cornerstone piece to connect the existing <br />Riverside Trail to the East Bank Trail northwest of downtown <br />South Bend. To complete this project, the proposed construction <br />will include a new HMA path and rehabilitation of the existing <br />railroad bridge crossing the Saint Joseph River. <br />Over half of a mile of new trail will be constructed. The 12’ wide <br />HMA trail will follow the existing railroad corridor north of Angela <br />Boulevard. Along the proposed route, new decorative concrete <br />will be installed at each trail connection location, new lighting will <br />help illuminate the trail for nighttime safety, decorative railing will <br />be installed at various locations, and a storm sewer system will <br />be installed to alleviate adjacent drainage issues. <br />The bridge portion of the project will include reconstruction and <br />rehabilitation of the existing seven span 327’ long railroad bridge <br />currently crossing the river. The existing bridge substructure will <br />be patched and repaired with pneumatically placed mortar. All <br />existing railroad rails and ties will be removed and then a new <br />8“ reinforced concrete deck will be placed. The existing beams <br />will be cleaned and painted, and decorative pedestrian railing <br />and lighting will be placed along both sides of the bridge to <br />complete the conversion from the existing railroad bridge to a <br />new, pedestrian-friendly structure. <br />HWC’s project approach is focused on continuing to grow the confidence the City of South Bend <br />has in our firm by assigning a familiar and proven Project Supervisor, Mr. Chris Holth. The level of <br />accomplishment and success of not just our firm, but also of Mr. Holth, will help to execute this project <br />on time, on budget, and always with the safety of the traveling public in mind.
