LIGHTING AND SIGNALS

Route 45 and Wheat Avenue, Rantoul

This improvement consists of reconstructing and extending Wheat Avenue in Rantoul to U.S. Route 45. Also included is adding a left turn lane on U.S. Route 45 together with traffic signals at the intersection of Wheat Avenue and U.S. Route 45. Project lengths are 500 feet and 1500 feet for Wheat Avenue and U.S. Route 45 respectively.

South Lincoln Avenue and Windsor Roads, Urbana

South Lincoln Avenue will be a new four-lane pavement from Windsor Road north to Hazelwood Drive. The pavement will have a curb and gutter along the east side and a paved shoulder and bikeway along the west side. New streetlights will be installed along the street and the traffic signals at the Windsor Road intersection will be modified. New turning lanes will be added. Length of affected roadway is 2,600 feet. This job will be completed in the summer of 2000.

Kraft-Mattis Avenue Truck Entrance, Champaign

This was a four-phase project developing and implementing a new truck entrance for the Kraft General Foods plant located in Champaign, Illinois. Phases I and II: Preliminary design work (designed entrance roadway and parking areas); preliminary sketch to IDOT and City of Champaign for review of Mattis Avenue intersection; performed design survey of roadway and parking areas along Mattis Avenue and within plant site; drainage plan (prepared analysis, calculations, and preliminary design); prepared typical cross sections and roadway plans showing both bituminous and concrete shoulders and addressing staging operations.

Phases III and IV: Final design work for entrance roadway, grading and drainage, paving, traffic signals, fencing, seeding and parking areas; new entrance and traffic signals at Mattis Avenue (submitted plan to IDOT and City of Champaign for review of Mattis Avenue intersection; obtained permit from IDOT and City of Champaign for new entrance); final construction plans and specifications; bidding documents; guard house design; scales (provided foundation design for two platform truck scales and showed locations on site plan); street lighting and parking lot lighting (design included street lighting system, pole foundations, control system, poles, fixtures and wiring); signs and signage (traffic control, directional, and instructional signs); railroad crossing (designed modular rail crossings and secured permits); right-of-way dedication plat for new Mattis Avenue entrance; project management; project administration; construction staking and layout; field observation of construction work; preparation of pay estimates; prepared "as-built" plans.

Prospect/Kirby Intersection Improvements, Champaign

This project improved the Prospect-Kirby intersection by constructing left turn lanes on Prospect Avenue, left turn lanes on Kirby, and adding left turn arrows for all approaches. The project was approximately 1,250 feet long on Kirby and 650 feet long on Prospect to accommodate land width transitions. The existing pavement structure was evaluated. The existing pavements were constructed in at least two phases, and as a result had different ages and structural integrity. The design for the new pavement system provided uniform durability across the length and width of the intersection improvement. Engineering design work on this project included topographic surveys, preparing base maps, roadway design, drainage design, right of way plats, legal descriptions, and temporary construction easement drawings. The design work included preparation of special provisions, construction schedule and cost estimates. Construction inspection and pay estimate preparation were also a part of this project.
