US 62 (19th Street) from I-27 to Marsha Sharp Freeway

As part of the project, seven traffic signal locations will be modernized and will require the reconfiguration of the intersections. Illumination will also be brought up to current standards. Curb ramps are being modified to meet ADA standards. The storm sewer was designed with an inverted syphon to avoid a costly relocation of a telephone utility duct and allow the project to be bid as per the district schedule. Estimated construction cost is $25.7 million

Success Story
Two conflicts existed with the proposed storm sewer and major existing AT&T duct lines on both sides of US 62. American Structurepoint staff worked with the utility coordinator and prepared options to avoid the conflict. Our design of an inverted syphon was selected, saving a $1.4 million relocation and a 12- to 24-month construction delay to relocate the lines. The project was bid per the district’s schedule due to the change.
