Rick
Engineering Company's Transportation
Division prepared
plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for a 3.1-km
section of a six-lane freeway with a 25.8-meter median
which allowed for future conversion to a 10-lane facility.
The project included interchange design at Jamacha Road
with ramp metering; interchange design concept studies
at Troy Street; five bridges; retaining and soundwalls;
landscape; drainage; traffic control; staged construction;
electrical; signalization; preparation of roadway quantities;
and structures estimates.
Also provided were
right-of-way requirement maps; water and sewer utility relocation
plans; roadway realignment plans for a 0.6-km section of
Troy Street to upgrade to current horizontal and vertical
sight distance standards; and local street realignment plans
to preserve property access. Because the project location
is within an existing floodplain with known flooding problems,
drainage design was made complex because of the need for
a system that alleviated this constraint.
All design and drafting
was performed on an in-house MicroStation CADD system.
