Bridge #516 Replacement
HWC provided design, project management, and inspection services for the Bridge #516 Replacement project in Delaware County, 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.

Madison County, IN
Bridge #97 Replacement
After a 15-year closure, a historic, single-lane, single-span steel truss bridge was removed and salvaged to make way for the new, two-lane, three-span modernized bridge over Killbuck Creek in Madison County, Indiana. The existing channel of Killbuck Creek was realigned in order to reduce a large skewed crossing to a 30 degree skewed crossing to help alleviate nearby flooding. Additionally, the existing retaining wall was reconstructed and lengthened to protect the Fork Creek tributary that runs along the eastbound lane. This project improved the overall hydraulic performance, enhanced vehicular safety, reconnected sections of Madison County, and provided a more direct route for nearby residents.
