The Rebuild U.S. 27 project will widen a 1.62-mile route from 2 to 3 lanes in each direction, construct ramp acceleration and deceleration lanes at interchanges and construct 6 bridges and 30 retaining walls. The roadway alignment and grade will be improved to flatten horizontal curves and remove vertical dips in the roadway. This realignment will improve sight distance visibility, providing a safer view ahead for motorists. The new bridges will be wider and safer than the existing structures. The retaining walls will stabilize the steep slopes constructed in the 1950s and minimize the need for additional right-of-way acquisition.

Wilson & Associates’ engineering and surveying duties are to lay out all bridges, walls, grading, and drainage. Other duties include the layout of the various utilities, roadway lighting, and appurtenances. Our firm also acts as the prime contractor’s representative in all erosion-prevention and sediment-control matters, including the contractor’s plan for staging EPSC operations, EPSC inspection services relative to water quality, erosion, and sediment controls, and water-resource-related permit compliance for the project, as well as coordination of the contractor’s BMP installations. We are servicing this project with one crew, a part-time data engineer, and an EPSC inspector for five to six days a week for three years.

“Wilson & Associates has performed the engineering and surveying for our company on over two hundred projects…Through the years, they have helped us grow and have grown with us. I cannot remember a single time that they have questioned how something could be done but only asked when do you want us to start. l can recommend Wilson & Associates without hesitation.”
