This 1.4-mile reconditioning project in the Town of Beloit was funded through the State Transportation Program- Urban (STP-Urban). The project involved pulverizing the existing pavement and incorporating the pulverized pavement with the existing base aggregate before placing a full-depth HMA pavement section.
The roadway shoulders were widened and partially paved to accommodate bicycles. New sidewalks and a multi-use path were added to provide connectivity to existing sidewalks at both termini. Road and driveway culverts were replaced along the entire length of the project. The existing ditches were also regraded as part of the project to address existing drainage issues. The project’s southern terminus required curb ramp updates for ADA compliance at the urban signalized intersection at Cranston Road.
The corridor includes a mix of residential and commercial properties, a public park, and a golf course. Some parcels along the project were located within the City of Beloit, requiring additional coordination throughout the project.
A right-of-way plat was developed to acquire permanent and temporary interests due to the addition of the new sidewalk and the lengthening of several culvert pipes. Batterman included Gruber Consulting on our team for all required appraisals and negotiation services for the 43 parcels and five utility parcels acquired.
