HWC provided design, plan development, and part time inspection services for Bridge 193 in Vigo County. The project included complete demolition of the existing structure, new substructure and footers, new steel I-beams, a new two-lane superstructure, replacement of the existing guardrail, and paving the adjacent county road. This bridge was fully funded by Vigo County.
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.
