City of South Bend: PE/RW Services for Bendix Drive 11 <br />PROJECT EXPERIENCE <br />LINCOLNWAY WEST ROAD CORRIDOR REDESIGN ǀ City of South Bend <br /> <br />As part of ongoing revitalizatfon efforts, the City of South Bend proposed a reductfon in <br />the number of travel lanes along three miles of the Lincolnway West corridor from four <br />lanes down to three. This redesign would promote slower traffic speeds, allow for a <br />better flow of traffic, and establish a safer pedestrian experience for the general public <br />and patrons of local businesses. <br /> <br />Members of our team investfgated the operatfonal effectfveness of the proposed <br />three-lane road at 12 existfng intersectfons using SYNCHRO software. Analysis <br />determined that acceptable Levels of Service could be maintained with the proposed <br />sectfon. <br /> <br />A signal warrant analysis was also completed at four intersectfons. Based on the results, <br />three traffic signals were removed along this corridor, further improving the flow of <br />traffic. <br /> <br />DESIGN ELEMENTS <br />» New pavement striping <br />» Traffic signal improvements <br />» New street signage in accordance with MUTCD <br />» A thin HMA overlay <br />» Solar-powered dynamic speed notfficatfon signs (for safety enhancement) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Lochmueller’s Brian Arterbery, PE worked with the City to develop a local specification for a 1-inch, 4.75-mm HMA <br />surface mix as opposed to a conventional 1.5-inch overlay resulting in a saving for the City in excess of $500,000. <br />Client: City of South Bend, Kara Boyles, City Engineer, <br />574.235.9251 <br /> <br />Construction Cost: $1.4 million <br /> <br />Key Staff: <br />Barbie Swihart Stutzman <br />Ryan Clark <br />Brian Arterbery <br />CLEVELAND ROAD RECONSTRUCTION ǀ St. Joseph County <br /> <br />Lochmueller provided design, right-of-way, and constructfon inspectfon services for this 4-lane corridor reconstructfon project, from Riverside <br />Drive to SR 933. This project consisted of a total reconstructfon of 5,500 feet of <br />roadway, the rehabilitatfon of Cleveland Road over St. Joseph River (St. Joseph Bridge <br />212), and safety upgrades to Cleveland Road over Juday Creek (St. Joseph Bridge 007). <br /> <br />CLEVELAND ROAD OVER JUDAY CREEK <br />St. Joseph Bridge 007 is a single-span, cast-in-place reinforced concrete box structure. <br />The improvements to Cleveland Road over Juday Creek include safety upgrades to <br />address nonstandard sidewalks and railings. <br /> <br />CLEVELAND ROAD OVER ST. JOSEPH RIVER <br />The rehabilitatfon of Cleveland Road over St. Joseph River, a 4-span, contfnuous steel <br />plate girder bridge, included a full deck replacement and widening, semi -integral end <br />bent conversion, and approach slab replacement. The original scope called for complete <br />structural widening to accommodate a 10 -foot multf-use path. The team worked with <br />the County to modify the roadway sectfon across the bridge to accommodate a 7 -foot <br />multf-use path. This eliminated the need for full structural widening, saving the <br />County nearly $700,000. <br /> <br />Continuing to Address the Scope During Design <br />Throughout the design process, the team reevaluated the scope of work to ensure the <br />rehabilitatfon would address the current state of the bridge. For example, when the <br />routfne biannual inspectfon revealed excessive tflt at the bearings, the team worked <br />with the County to adjust the scope of work to include resetting the bearings at the <br />interior supports. <br />Client: St. Joseph County <br /> <br />Construction Cost: $8.3 million <br /> <br />Key Staff: <br />Brian Arterbery, Jessica Clark, Ryan Clark, <br />Barbie Swihart Stutzman
