Rehabilitation of Halls Hill Road

What was the Challenge?

This project consisted of milling and paving almost 4,000 linear feet of roadway, including striping two travel lanes with pavement marking for bicycles and modifying existing sidewalks.

How did Barton & Loguidice provide a solution?

B&L completed the design, permitting and construction administration of the project for the Town of Colchester. Existing sidewalks were modified to include ADA compliant ramps and approximately 2,000 linear feet of new sidewalk was installed on the south side of the road. We also installed Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon systems at two mid-block crosswalks on Halls Hill Road that serves two schools.

Why was the project a success?

We were able to upgrade both the roadways and sidewalks while increasing safer usage for bicyclists and students. This nearly $800,000 project was funded under the Local Transportation Capital Improvement Project (LOTCIP) through the CT Department of Transportation. The Southeastern Connecticut Council of Government (SCCOG) administered the LOTCIP grant.
