Project Components
Roadway realignment, drainage design that included demolition of an existing bridge class culvert, extending a bridge class culvert, re-grading 7.5 acres of TxDOT right of way, signage and pavement markings, and design oversight for the traffic control plan
As the prime consultant, Parkhill was responsible for realigning US 82 to improve road user safety. Within the 1.1-mile project, TxDOT had documented one of two horizontal curves as a safety concern resulting from trucks veering off the roadway. The roadway realignment improved sight distance both with horizontal and vertical roadway adjustments.
Our team also provided design oversight for the traffic control plan (TCP). The plan allowed lanes to remain functional, and the major intersection remained accessible.
“Overall, it was a very successful project. One thing that we celebrated was the very few crashes (and no fatalities) during the duration of this project. This is a very high-speed rural intersection that had several TCP phases to get it constructed. We had a good design and a good contractor to execute the plan.” — Zach Husen, PE, TxDOT Area Engineer
As a result of the improvements, Parkhill provided a drainage design that included demolishing a bridge class culvert, extending a bridge class culvert, and re-grading TxDOT right of way. Parkhill developed the roadway and drainage for the roadway consisting of the US 82/US 183 intersection and the intersecting County Road 237.
