US 10/WIS 441, I-41 Interchange Phase 1 Client Wisconsin Department of Transportation (NE Region) Location Winnebago County, WI Total Estimated Cost $54 Million DAAR was part of a four consultant team providing oversight on the staged construction of the first phase of construction for the completely redesigned WIS 441/I-41 system interchange and construction of the substructure work for the new 21-span concrete girder bridge and approaches over Little Lake Butte des Morts (B-70-403) in Winnebago County. This project was awarded the 2019 Slag Cement Project of the Year award in the category of High Performance by The Slag Cement Association (SCA). The project also involved causeway and construction of B-70-403 in the water of Little Lake Butte des Morts. This bridge is a 22-span concrete girder bridge that will be directly adjacent to the existing bridge, B-70-061. Other items of work include common excavation, embankment, base aggregate, HMA pavement, ITS, lighting, signing, bridge widening and overlay of bridge B-70-158; extension of culvert C-70-200, 13 sign structures, concrete pavement, erosion control, traffic control and complex traffic switches. Major items of work include: • Grading • Common excavation and borrow embankment • Breaker run • Base course • Wick drains • Settlement monitoring • Box culvert extensions • Retaining walls • Staged temporary widening • Construction of a 6-span concrete girder bridge Project Deliverables: • Project administration, budgeting and monitoring • Multiple stage construction sequence with accelerated schedule utilizing night and day shifts • Field manager, project estimates and WisDOT lane closure updates • Coordinating with utilities Project Gallery 1/1 < Previous Project Next Project >

US 12, County NN Interchange Client Wisconsin Department of Transportation (SE Region) Location Walworth County, WI Total Estimated Cost $1.5 Million Design services provided for this project led to the reconstruction of County NN interchange on US 12 outside the city of Elkhorn in Walworth County. The interchange reconstruction included a significant profile adjustment that will bring the roadway up to a desirable 60 mph design speed as well as increasing the vertical clearance over US 12 to the desirable standard of 16’ 9”. In addition, all ramps were reconstructed to match the new County NN profile and meet current standards. Pedestrian friendly features were incorporated into the County NN interchange design which include an off-road path along the north side of County NN as well as on road bicycle accommodations along both directions of travel. Coordination with the local communities was a key component of the scope of services being provided by DAAR. To the east of the interchange Walworth County is pursuing a project that will reconstruct an adjoining section of County NN, including an extension of the off-road path along the north side. To the west of the interchange the city of Elkhorn is studying how the off-road path could be further extended into the city as well as the reconstruction of a small section of County NN. Both local projects would be packaged with the County NN interchange project to create one large construction letting, of which DAAR was responsible for coordinating and assembling. DAAR was also responsible for preparing the Transportation Project Plat (TPP) needed to acquire the additional right of way due to interchange reconstruction. Project Deliverables: • Project scoping, scheduling, and budgeting • 30%, 60% (preliminary), 90% (final) and PS&E plans and documents • Rural interchange design • Preparation/coordination of Environmental Report (ER) • Utility coordination (Trans 220) • Right of Way Plat (TPP) preparation • Preliminary and final structure design • Public involvement • Drainage analysis and design per current WisDOT storm water requirements Project Gallery 1/1 < Previous Project Next Project >

US 41 Corridor: Scheuring Road Interchange Client Wisconsin Department of Transportation (NE Region) Location Brown County, WI Total Estimated Cost $15 Million As part of a design team, DAAR provided design services on this freeway expansion project. DAAR’s responsibilities included preliminary and final design of the County F (Scheuring Road) interchange. In addition to the interchange work, DAAR was responsible for 1.4 miles of the preliminary design of US 41 mainline. This project was the first interchange to be built in Brown County as part of the overall US 41 corridor reconstruction project. Roundabouts were installed at four intersections along Scheuring Road. An ADA compliant shared use path for pedestrians and bicyclists was also included in the design, allowing safer travel conditions. Structural work included preparation of preliminary structure plans and structure survey reports for five bridges and two box culvert extensions as well as final plans for a two-span, prestressed girder bridge on County F and three retaining walls. The public outreach efforts for Community Sensitive Design decisions and traffic management were important to the advancement of the project. DAAR’s extensive coordination between nine consulting firms, municipalities, utility agencies, and the public was a key element in making this project a success. Project Deliverables: • Preliminary and final plans • Drainage analysis Interchange design • Design study report • Structure survey reports • Structure plans • Encroachment report • Public involvement Project Gallery 1/1 < Previous Project Next Project >

Becher Street Reconstruction Client City of Milwaukee DPW Location City of Milwaukee, WI Total Estimated Cost $1.1 Million DAAR provided design services for the reconstruction of Becher Street near the Kinnickinnic River on the south side of Milwaukee. The accelerated urban reconstruction design included a roadway diet in which a 4-lane divided roadway was converted to a 3-lane TWLTL section. The project also included a reduction in the Becher Street/1st Street intersection, concrete pavement, concrete sidewalks, integral curb and gutter, storm sewer, LED lighting, monotube traffic signals, and innovative elevated bike lanes. The intent of the project was to accommodate site changes for the River1 Development and improve safety for all users, pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. By separating and elevating the bike lanes behind the curb line rather than placing them adjacent to the driving lanes, safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists will be enhanced. By implementing concepts from the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NATCO), Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Separated Bike Lane Planning and Design Guide and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Facilities Development Manual (FDM), this innovative design will be the first of its kind built in the City of Milwaukee. Construction will occur between April and July 2020, prior to the phase 1 opening of the River1 Development in the fall of 2020. Project Deliverables: • Preliminary and final plans • Detailed staging/traffic control • Storm sewer design • LED lighting system design • Raised/separated bike lane design with green markings • Pedestrian design with continental (zebra) crosswalks Project Gallery 1/1 < Previous Project Next Project >
