Roadway Improvements Ahead

Clark Engineering provided the civil engineering for 4.25 miles of roadway reconstruction with asphalt concrete in Lincoln County, SD. The construction of the road was important to not only the 40 landowners and businesses, but also the commuters who travel the main road to Lennox from Interstate 29.

Planning involved provisions for multiple detours as the project called for more than just replacing the existing road. The roadway was widened, shoulders added, and turn lanes were incorporated at major intersections to support the transit of the 5,000 vehicles that travel the road daily. Included in the project were the construction of a 100 foot-long single-span bridge, a reinforced concrete box culvert, and 200,000 cubic-yards of earthwork.

Involving the Community

In addition to the civil engineering on the project, Clark Engineering conducted public meetings to inform adjacent property owners of the project’s goals and schedule. Our team met with each of the land owners for the purpose of executing the right-of-way documents and coordinating driveway access points; discussed individual concerns with the land owners and adjusted construction phasing and detour planning to adapt to their needs. Additionally, we assisted in project coordination with the South Dakota DOT for project funding and bidding.
