Rural Highways

RM 2243

CP&Y prepared the PS&E design of a 9-mile shoulder widening for project in Williamson County, TX. The project was designed using 3R criteria and constructed utilizing daily lane closures. Flooding problems at the Brushy Creek stream crossing were corrected by adding two pre-cast barrels and raising the roadway profile through the use of a variable depth level-up.

FM 973 - Phased Reconstruction of Two-Lane, Major Arterial in Travis County

CP&Y prepared design schematics for an ultimate four-lane, divided rural highway. Project was developed using both the existing and new alignment. The PS&E design was prepared for construction of two lanes of the ultimate facility.

Loop 7 from US 175 to FM 59 (Section 3) and from FM 59 to SH 31 (Section 4)

CP&Y provided engineering and design services for these two projects for the Tyler District. For both projects, CP&Y revised and updated the previous metric schematics to English units. CP&Y also produced plans, specifications and estimates for Section 3. Due to funding limitations, CP&Y designed the project for the ultimate two lanes in each direction with shoulders and a two way center left turn lane but produced plans for an interim configuration of one lane in each direction with shoulders. Major engineering and design functions included geometric design, bridge design, hydraulic and hydrologic studies, railroad coordination and utility coordination.

FM 1346 from FM 1516 to 0.355 Miles West of US 57, TxDOT, San Antonio District

CP&Y developed the plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for three sections of a rural two-lane highway in Bexar and Wilson Counties. The narrow roadway was widened using TxDOT 3R criteria to increase the lane widths to 12’ and add 4’ shoulders. Contained within the 15.299 total miles was the town of St. Hedwig, where the roadway was converted to an urban curb and gutter section. CP&Y developed all three PS&E packages which included roadway, drainage, grading, signing and striping, TCP and SW3P.

FM 844 from US 69 to County Road

The scope of the work for this 3R project is to provide utility coordination, to lengthen and/or safety treat cross culverts, to safety treat driveway pipes, and to provide for upgraded mailboxes and mailbox turnouts. The project also includes the replacement of a slab span bridge with a box culvert. Engineering activities that are conducted on this project include: hydraulic and hydrologic calculations, drainage layouts and design, estimating and quantity calculations and project management.
